Education Policy and Reform

Course Number: 
30500

This course engages in an overview of current issues in primary and secondary education policy. We focus on two types of reform policies: those that seek to tinker with the current system to improve it, and those that seek to replace the current system with a market-based system. Topics include accountability, vouchers, small schools, class size, early childhood education, teacher recruitment, and achievement gaps.
