EADM 292 - Current Policy Issues in Education


Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
In this course, students examine the major policy issues that impact the experiences of principals, teachers and children, while locating educational politics within larger social policy contexts. The course looks at the role of federal, state and local government in educational policymaking and explores how major interest groups influence the politics of education. Through debates, policy briefs and reports, students learn how to systematically interpret, analyze and respond to current education policy issues. Students assess how policies affect the academic achievement and experiences of students attending public schools and the teachers and administrators working in them, paying particular attention to issues of race, gender and social-economic status.
