LPL 735 Educational Policy
This course assists students to develop an in-depth understanding of policy development, implementation, and evaluation processes, specifically as they relate to the field of education. At both the macro and micro-levels, students are challenged and guided to examine the environment that leads to specific educational policies, the underlying value structure, goals, inducements, facts, powers, and rights inherent in those policies, the demands and support for the policies by various interest groups, the political system in which policy decisions are determined, and the criteria and processes by which the policies should be evaluated.
