With increased influence of the federal government in education, individual states, districts, and schools must attend to \"interpret, plan, implement, and evaluate\" policies made at the national level. In this course, we will consider multidimensional policy processes from the federal government across state and local education agencies and organizations. Focusing on three broad federal education policies- previous versions of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the Bilingual Education Act (BEA), and Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), as they are localized in districts and schools, we will interrogate the school district as a policy system and examine the multiplicity of district policy actors (or stakeholders) and their disparate aims and resources. We will also examine recent empirical studies of Arizona State education policies, such as Move on When Reading and the four-block English Language Development (ELD).
