Welcome to HNRS-302 §011H: U.S. Education Policy in Theory, Policy, and Practice
This course is offered as an honors colloquium at American University in Washington, DC.
Through a variety of old and new media, this colloquium examines the major public policy issues in American education: equity, excellence, and efficiency. It emphasizes theories and techniques of policy analysis, policy implementation, and evaluation. The course considers competing definitions of and orientations toward education policy by researching the roles of specific stakeholder groups and historically tracing the development, implementation, and movement of policy in formal and informal education settings. Particular attention is paid to policy implementation and appropriation.
