Book synopsis

Advanced industrialized countries share an§"achievement gap" between §students from low-income and high-income school§districts, despite §the different structures of their governments. This§book examines the §relationship between national planning and education§in two urban §school districts, Port City, USA and Montvelier,§France. Through §interviews with teachers and administrators and§observations of §classrooms in both settings, this book analyzes§whether educational §decision-making in the school districts has evolved§toward national §planning goals. Four education policy issues focus§the discussion: §depth of content, delivery of content, assessment and§accountability, §and funding. Both school districts demonstrate§successful attempts to §meet national goals; although historical, cultural§and institutional §constraints limit how much ground-level implementers§(teachers) are §able and willing to meet those goals.
