"The State of Education Policy Research "is a comprehensive,
insightful evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of education
policy research in the U.S. today. Editors Susan Fuhrman, David
Cohen, and Fritz Mosher examine key issues facing policymakers and
researchers including race, education equity, teacher quality,
early education, privatization, and the politics of education
policy. Collectively, the chapters present a complex mosaic of
education policy research that integrates the views of policy
experts from education, economics, and related disciplines.
Important topics discussed in this influential new text include:
Politics of education-- Covers research on key political groups
including teachers' unions, business roundtables, parent and/or
religious advocates, as well as state and federal lawmakers.
Race-- Discusses race as an issue as well as a non-issue and
includes a discussion of the testing gap.
State policies-- Provides an overview of state policies directed at
improving teacher quality and discusses the reality of a teacher
shortage.
National Trends-- Analyzes current trends toward centralization and
standardization and the growing influence of federal and state
mandates.
This book is appropriate for advanced courses in education
administration, politics, and policy. It will also appeal to policy
researchers in education, economics, and political science, to
policy makers at the federal, state, and local levels and to the
academic libraries serving them.
