Developing Education Policy

Catalog description

Use case studies to explore the education policy landscape of contemporary America on three levels. At the national/international level we will look at the debates, issues, and efforts to change education policy using case studies that reflect proposals from differing political and influence groups. At the state level we will explore the effectiveness of varied approaches to bring about change in public policy within the state. At the local level we will again explore ways of changing policy and reforming education.
