|
This course will examine educational policy-making and implementation. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between particular policies and the experience of African Americans in the U.S. Policies explored include those related to testing requirements, instructional reform, desegregation, vouchers and athletics. In addition, questions about how policy is defined, the nature of the policy context, the client, the knowledge base, relevant information and available resources, will frame the course. Students will also work collectively to explore a policy problem in education. As such, students will take on the role of policy analysts and construct a policy report. |
