Through conversations in honor of Dale D. Johnson, this book takes
a critical view of the monoculture in curriculum and policy that
has developed in education with the increase of federal funding and
privatization of services for public education, and examines the
shift from public interest and control to private and corporate
shareholder hegemony. Most states' educational
responsibilities-assessment of constituents, curriculum
development, and instructional protocols-are increasingly being
outsourced to private enterprises in an effort to reduce state
budgets. These enterprises have been given wide access to state
resources such as public data from state-sanctioned testing
results, field-testing rights to public schools, and financial
assistance. Chapter authors challenge this paradigm as well as the
model that has set growing premiums on accountability and
performance measures. Connecting common impact between the
standards movement and the privatization of education, this book
lays bare the repercussions of high-stakes accountability coupled
with increasing privatization. Winner of The Society of Professors
of Education Book Award (2018)
