This course will provide an overview of the pressure groups, the role of the public, political party positions and policy-making at the national and state level in the highly-charged arena of educational policy. Subjects to be covered include teacher preparation, school curriculum, school and student improvement, school financing, church and state issues, and higher education. It is hoped that the seminar participants will develop the skills of critical analysis in viewing current policy and proposals for reform.
