Description

Political insider Christopher Cross has updated his critically acclaimed book to reflect recent education policy developments, including the impact of the Obama administration and "Race to the Top" as well as the controversy over NCLB's reauthorization. Featuring a new introduction and the addition of postscripts for key chapters, this important book traces the evolution of federal education policy during the latter half of the 20th century. Cross draws on his 32 years of experience in Washington, research he has conducted in several presidential libraries, and interviews with more than 20 people who held key positions during that time. What emerges is a highly readable chronicle of how the federal role in education has been transformed. Critical Acclaim for Political Education--- "Concise but illuminating...chock-full of historical nuggets."---Education Week "For those trying to find a text that translates theory work into a practical understanding of policy making, this book is the one."---Aacte Briefs "Cross has done an excellent job in contextually framing federal education policy development and implementation."---Teachers College Record "You will come away with enhanced understanding of what got us where we are today."---The Education Gadfly "Clearly written, informative, and generally well-balanced."---Harvard Educational Revie
