President Obama and Education Reform offers a comprehensive
description and analysis of President Obama's education agenda. The
Obama administration has created numerous interlocking policies
meant to foster class mobility and long-term economic growth
through educational improvements. The administration has imposed
the Common Core as de facto national standards, an innovation
desired by reformers for decades. Through Race to the Top (RTT)
funds, the administration has also encouraged the spread of
teacher-level value-added data systems, encouraged the use of merit
pay, and pushed states to help spread high-quality charter schools.
Obama's reforms have drawn skepticism from supporters of
traditional public schools. Robert Maranto and Michael McShane have
a more positive view. They believe that the Obama-era reforms
reflect long-term changes in ideology and technology which have led
to successful innovation in both the private and public sector, and
believe that Obama's personal background as a community organizer
has informed his reform strategies for the better.
Second term presidencies are distinctive, largely because as the
president no longer has to run for reelection. Placing the second
term of George W. Bush in comparative perspective, this fascinating
book explores the political, institutional and policy implications
of a second term. Combining topicality with analytical richness,
this is an important resource for scholars and students.
