This book provides valuable insights into a dynamic structural
change that is being experienced, but not completely understood, by
educators and policymakers alike--the transfer of power from the
local to the state and national levels. What will become of our
public schools in this new era of leadership? The author traces the
origins of this process, examines the implications, and considers
where these changes might lead. This extremely timely volume:
-Explores the direction of education policy and the ways in which
both policymakers and educators can adapt and provide leadership in
this new landscape.-Offers a concise, accessible summary of a
multitude of specific programs and policies, helping us to think
more systematically about the shifts in power relationships among
education governance levels.-Presents an outline of actions that
can be taken at the local, state, and national levels to help
facilitate better working relationship and to help improve
schools.-Examines the new federal role and recent federal
legislation, including the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
