2008. A volume in the series: Educational Policy and Law. Series Editor(s): Kevin G. Welner, University of Colorado - Boulder and Wendy C. Chi, University of Colorado - Boulder Educational policy controversies in the United States invariably implicate legal issues. Policy debates about testing and school choice, for example, cannot be disentangled from legal rights and mandates. The same is true for issues such as funding, campus safety, speech and religion rights, as well as the teaching of immigrant students. Written for a general audience, this new twelve-chapter book explores these compelling educational policy issues through that legal lens, building an understanding of both law and policy. The book's editors are Kevin Welner, associate professor of educational policy at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Wendy Chi, a doctoral candidate at Boulder. Both Welner and Chi are lawyers as well as educational scholars. REVIEWS: "Chi and Welner present a much-needed, tightly-knit marriage of education law and policy. Intelligent, current, compelling -- a seminal piece on this topic!" ~ Professor Jacqueline Stefkovich, Penn State University "Current Issues in Educational Policy and the Law presents an excellent collection of legal and policy research that will inform the public debate surrounding the type of education that we hope to achieve." ~ Professor Karen Miksch, University of Minnesota "A timely and well-written collection on cutting edge issues in education law, this volume is a welcome addition to the professional lives of both academicians and practitioners." ~ Professor Charlie Russo, University of Dayton | ||
