Product Description
Written by a mix of established and rising stars in school politics, policy, law, finance, and reform this comprehensive handbook provides a 3-part framework that helps organize this relatively new and loosely organized field of study. Part 1 examines the macro-level (structural and institutional) backdrop to our educational system: democracy, federalism, political parties and elections. Part 2 examines the micro-level political behaviors and cultural influences operating within schools and among interest groups, and Part 3 looks at the major ideological and philosophical positions that frame discussions of educational equity and excellence. A central theme running through the book is how to harness politics to school equity and improvement. Key features include... Thematic Discussions - detailed discussions of key topics in educational politics are organized by themes and competing perspectives. The overarching themes are 1) the goals of the U.S. political system (justice, equity, opportunity, efficiency andchoice); 2) the means and resources for reaching these goals; and 3) the political behaviors and compromises that seek to mitigate ideological differences and conflicts of interest. Research Oriented - in addition to summarizing the latest research connected to key topics, each chapter exemplifies and reports on the methods and techniques for further exploration of these topics. Reform Oriented - throughout the book and especially in the summarizing chapter, authors provide suggestions for improving the political behaviors of key educational groups and individuals: unions, superintendents, politicians, school boards, teachers, and parents. It is hoped that an understanding of political goals, governance processes and policy outcomes may contribute to ongoing reform. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
