ELAD 8253 - Educational Policy and the Law

Sem. Hrs: 3

A study of the relationship of law and policy, and legal decision and educational practice. Among issues addressed are the relationship be­tween schooling and the state, the nature and scope of students’ and teachers’ substantive and procedural rights, and the many meanings of educational opportunity. Emphasis is given to con­sideration of the tension among political, professional, and legal authority at the local level and the distinctive policy role of the federal government.

Prerequisites: ELAD 6073  and admission to doctoral program.
