Short description:
The increasing involvement of the courts in standards-based reform is one of the most important developments in Education Law since the courts became involved in desegregation. This book explores how the courts' growing role in educational policy impacts the standards-based movement in areas such as school finance reform and the No Child Left Behind Act, and explains how the courts' role will change in the coming years.
MoreLong description:
Since the desegregation of public schools in the 1950s, the concept of standards-based reform has become a central topic within educational policy. Every American state is now required to enact standards-based reform policies while shifting responsibility away from the government and holding schools more accountable for their students performance. The Courts and Standards-Based Education Reform positions itself at the center of the long standing dispute
between law, education, and public policy and analyzes the court's growing role in educational policy.
Benjamin Superfine contends that the courts are a strong force in determining education policy, and have been placed in the position to decide some of the most contentious and important issues facing education law as the standards-based reform movement has grown. Such major cases addressed by the courts, in light of standards-based reforms, include the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, and school finance reform litigation. As the courts continue to rule in cases that challenge fundamental
aspects of U.S. educational policy, Superfine provides a new approach that can be used in the application and rulings of standards-based reforms.
The Courts and Standards-Based Education Reform is a meticulously researched, accessible, and insightful examination of the changing role of the judiciary in education policy. Dr. Superfine deftly weaves historical, legal, and education policy analyses into a compelling interdisciplinary story that expands our knowledge of the development and implementation of standards-based reforms, including No Child Left Behind. At the same time, Dr. Superfine
effectively employs standards-based reforms as a window though which to provide a penetrating look at courts and how they have begun to develop new roles and lines of reasoning that have significant implications for education policy generally. This book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the
messy, complicated, and ambiguous institutional realities of education policy."
