Taking the local school district as its field of inquiry, this course will examine a series of common, seemingly unobjectionable terms--"democracy," "markets," "choice," "public," "private," etc.--each of which represents very different visions of school governance and political organization. Readings will explore the nature of social justice, efficacy, and civic participation within school districts, and will do so not merely through a lens of power but of authority in the sense of moral legitimacy. Ultimately, the readings return to one simple question: Who should control the schools? Through its examination of school district governance, this course will prepare students for work in local and state policy. It will also approach issues from a variety of ideological perspectives and bolster students' knowledge of historical, philosophical, and political approaches to education.

TLPL781 Policy and Politics of Education Reform (3 Credits)

Under what conditions might market-based initiatives be a viable reform option? What sorts of education and social policies may be required to improve the learning experiences and life chances of children and youth in the US? This course provides opportunities to analyze prominent approaches to education reform (e.g. altering governance arrangements, expanding access and opportunity, improving instruction, instituting standards-based high stakes accountability systems, expanding school choice, privatizing the management and delivery of educational programs, linking school reform to more comprehensive social services and safety nets).
