Educational policies explicitly implemented in order to reduce
educational gaps and promote access and success for disenfranchised
youth can backfire-and often have the unintended result of widening
those gaps. In this interdisciplinary collection of case studies,
contributors examine cases of policy backfire, when policies don't
work, have unintended consequences, and when policies help.
Although policy reform is thought of as an effective way to improve
schooling structures and to diminish the achievement gap, many such
attempts to reform the system do not adequately address the legacy
of unequal policies and the historic and pervasive inequalities
that persist in schools. Exploring the roots of school inequality
and examining often-ignored negative policy outcomes, contributors
illuminate the causes and consequences of poor policymaking
decisions and demonstrate how policies can backfire, fail, or have
unintended success.
