Better policies, better schools

"This book brings together the latest research on the policy making process and theory, and applies this information to key policy areas. The policy areas examined in the text include: governance, curriculum and standards, accountability, labor relations, finance, and school choice. The text examines these policy areas from multiple perspectives or "lenses" that create a coherent, unified framework consisting of normative, structural, constituent, and technical dimensions. The three parts of the book flow from an introduction of the framework of policy analysis to the policy process to application in policy arenas such as government and finance."--BOOK JACKET.
