The Politics of School
Reform
School reform is a phrase, topic, and/or
concept that is being used as the current philosophical basis for
improving" public schools. Politicians are consumed by it,
communities are torn by it, school systems are frustrated by it, and
educators are confused by it. The resulting educational turmoil has
spawned the question of: Why did it happen? Why was it legislated?
How will it be implemented? What have we learned? What
difference has it made?
This book is an attempt to analyze the current school reform movement, as
it relates to the classroom teacher, school library media specialists and
school library media centers. In addition, the negative and positive
elements that have impacted its successes or failures are addressed.
Political influence is an unfortunate part of public education.
As a catalyst for change, it can be become an instrument for good or bad.
During this particular reform cycle, politics has played an extraordinary
role in the educational initiative.
