Understanding education policy is important to improve U.S. public schools. Students have opportunities to read about and analyze the design and implementation of policy, as well as have interactions with individuals who make and influence federal, state and local educational policy. One aim of this course is to support aspiring teachers, researchers, and policymakers to develop a knowledge base about key policies that have informed (and continue to inform) the outcomes of K-12 public schools.
