We will explore current issues in preK-12 education policy including the expansion of early childhood programs, the effectiveness of accountability, the challenges facing teacher labor markets, and the financing of education. We discuss the role government and non-government agencies have (or should have) in making and evaluating education policies. In all discussions, we will call attention to the vast inequities that exist in our current education system. In this course, you will learn how to analyze and critique education policies.
