Bruce
L. Wilson and Gretchen B. Rossman, published by Teachers College Press (1993)In the past decade, states have taken an increasingly active role in designing new policies intended to reform America's high schools. This book offers a systematic, empirical look at the most widely adopted policy reform strategy, mandatory changes in high school graduation requirements. The authors use Maryland as a case study, exploring five representative high schools and presenting an in-depth discussion of their experiences with mandated reform. Their discussion and recommendations are an important addition to the current reform debates.
Mandating Academic Excellence: High School Responses to State Curriculum Reform is an invaluable resource for all education policy makers at the state and national levels, as well as professors and students of policy administration and curriculum reform.
