Education, Equity, and the States examines how variations in state governance determine how federal initiatives are implemented and makes recommendations for approaching reform from this perspective. The book defines the key ways in which state policy environments differ from one another, illustrates how those differences matter, and encourages reformers to account for these disparities to achieve more sustained and equitable improvement.
Drawing on original research, Sara E. Dahill-Brown highlights three major factors that differ from state to state: the number of districts (fragmentation); the degree to which education governance is separated from other political issues (exceptionalism); and how much state legislation tends to impinge on local autonomy (local control). She examines the historical and political trends that have shaped differences among the states and how they affect the impact of education reforms. By identifying typical patterns in state governance, Dahill-Brown suggests ways to work with varying governance structures to lead to more successful and equitable outcomes.
Dahill-Brown argues that reformers at every level must routinely assess the appropriateness of their consensus-building and collaboration strategies. With the increasing importance of states in education, her work makes a notable contribution to our understanding of the landscape of education reform. 教育、公平和各州审查了各州治理的差异如何决定联邦政府的举措是如何实施的,并从这个角度提出了实施改革的建议。这本书定义了国家政策环境相互差异的主要方式,阐明了这些差异如何重要,并鼓励改革者对这些差异进行解释,以实现更持续和公平的改善。根据原创性研究,萨拉 · 达希尔-布朗强调了三个州与州之间主要的不同因素: 地区数量(分割) ; 教育管理与其他政治问题分离的程度(例外主义) ; 以及州立法对地方自治(地方控制)的影响程度。她审视了历史和政治趋势,这些趋势塑造了各州之间的差异,以及它们如何影响教育改革的影响。通过确定国家治理的典型模式,达希尔-布朗提出了与不同治理结构合作的方法,以取得更加成功和公平的结果。达希尔-布朗认为,各级改革者必须经常评估其建立共识和合作战略的适当性。随着国家在教育中的重要性日益增加,她的工作为我们理解教育改革的前景做出了显著的贡献。 基本信息 出版社 : Harvard Education Press (2019年2月26日) 语言 : 英语 图书馆装订 : 288页 ISBN-10 : 1682532739 ISBN-13 : 978-1682532737 商品重量 : 505 g 尺寸 : 15.88 x 1.91 x 23.5 cm
