This timely book brings together a remarkable group of authors who
examine the federal role in education policy and reform during the
past fifty years. As Frederick M. Hess and Andrew P. Kelly note in
their introduction, the book represents a determined effort to move
beyond familiar and predictable debates and instead to focus on a
number of questions that deserve careful and sustained attention:
"What have we learned from the last half-century of federal
involvement, especially the last decade or two of significant
federal activity? What have we learned about which goals Uncle Sam
is well-suited to pursue? What have we learned about how federal
efforts play out and about the limits of what federal activity can
effectively accomplish?" These questions are of heightened
importance at a time when the federal role in education has
expanded so dramatically-and when federal education policy is being
so vigourously debated. This book-with a diverse and dynamic lineup
of leading figures in education research, policy, politics, and
innovation-is an indispensable contribution to our current
reconsideration of education policy.
