Governing the School under Three Decades of Neoliberal Reform available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book provides a critical analysis of the neoliberal reform agenda of the economic governance of schools. Focusing on the role of the United States in this process, it explores the transformation of schools in this agenda from educational establishments to enterprises in a competitive education market. The study uses Bourdieu to apply a field-theoretical framework to a detailed empirical analysis of the current changes of school government. Chapters explore education bureaucracy, reform and the effect of outside organizations on pedagogy and testing. The book reveals how far the promises of corporate education reform are from reality and concludes with a plea for a realistic view of school’s capabilities. It goes beyond the state of the art with its focus on how the governance of education, school and instruction is changing with the replacement of educracy by an education-industrial complex. The book will be of great interest for academics, postgraduate students, administrators and politicians in the field of education policy, the governance of school systems and schools. The book also has an international appeal as it studies a global transformation of the field of education.

Download and read online ebook The Children of Choice write by Christopher Lizotte. This book was released on 2012. The Children of Choice available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This work examines the accelerating phenomenon of school reform efforts taking place in the United States as a result of evolving relationships between school districts, local government, the non-profit sector, and philanthropic capital. In particular, it examines the evolution of these relationships from three distinct but complementary spatial perspectives: 1) The increasing emphasis given to the individual as a sovereign political scale, advocating self-entrepreneurship and family responsibility as the most efficient and effective means of distributing educational opportunity; 2) Increasing inter-urban competition that is driving an intensification of pro-school choice coalition building and a "moral imperative" for all available participants to contribute to education problems in their metropolitan area; and 3) an increasing devolvement of responsibility to the local scale of schools and districts for the successful implementation of reform projects, accompanied by a pullback of support from funding agencies when these projects fail. The work concludes with some directions for expanding these largely theoretical perspectives to more grounded empirical research.

Download and read online ebook Neoliberalism and Early Childhood Education write by Guy Roberts-Holmes. This book was released on 2021-04-27. Neoliberalism and Early Childhood Education available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Neoliberalism, with its worldview of competition, choice and calculation, its economisation of everything, and its will to govern has ‘sunk its roots deep’ into Early Childhood Education and Care. This book considers its deeply detrimental impacts upon young children, families, settings and the workforce. Through an exploration of possibilities for resistance and refusal, and reflection on the significance of the coronavirus pandemic, Roberts-Holmes and Moss provide hope that neoliberalism’s current hegemony can be successfully contested. The book provides a critical introduction to neoliberalism and three closely related and influential concepts – Human Capital theory, Public Choice theory and New Public Management – as well as an overview of the impact of neoliberalism on compulsory education, in particular through the Global Education Reform Movement. With its main focus on Early Childhood Education and Care, this book argues that while neoliberalism is a very powerful force, it is ‘deeply problematic, eminently resistible and eventually replaceable’ – and that there are indeed alternatives. Neoliberalism and Early Childhood Education is an insightful supplement to the studies of students and researchers in Early Childhood Education and Sociology of Education, and is also highly relevant to policy makers.
