In March 2010, the Obama administration released A Blueprint for
Reform, setting forth its proposed revisions of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act. If enacted, the Blueprint will shape the
curriculum, standards, assessments, and accountability systems of
schools throughout the nation. It will also determine how and where
federal education funds will be targeted, further increase federal
control over K-12 education, and increase the private-sector role
in the operation of public schools. In advancing this agenda,
President Obama and education secretary Arne Duncan have maintained
that their Blueprint recommendations are grounded in research, and
in May the U.S. Department of Education issued a set of six
documents presented as summaries of the research supporting their
plan. As an extension of the ongoing Think Tank Review Project, the
staff and Fellows of the National Education Policy Center examine
these research summaries and assess how well they represent the
full body of knowledge in each of the reform areas. In The Obama
Education Blueprint, prominent education policy experts from across
the nation offer a comprehensive analysis of the research support
for the U.S. Department of Education's plan for the reauthorization
of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. This volume is
designed to provide policymakers, the media, and interested
citizens with what the research actually says about the
administration's proposals.
