BOOKS The Convergence of K-12 and Higher Education: Policies and Programs in a Changing Era (Co-Edited with Christopher Loss of Vanderbilt) (Harvard Education Press, October 2016)

This project explored the theme of “convergence” in U.S. K-12 and higher education policy since 1965 when the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Higher Education Act (HEA)—the pillars of modern education policy in the United States—were enacted. With an eye on the past, present, and future, participants from a wide array of institutional contexts and academic backgrounds will examine the idea of “convergence” in the hopes of erasing the intellectually expedient but artificial boundary that several generations of scholars and policymakers have erected between elementary and secondary education on the one hand, and higher education on the other. The policies governing K-12 and higher education have been trending toward “convergence” for the past decade. And key research questions on academic and social preparation, on access and persistence, on achievement and outcomes, on accountability and performance, on social investments and the return on that investment,

now apply equally to both sectors. This volume will look at why this has happened, how and whether it could be challenged, and what the implications of it are for the future of the country’s educational system. With 90 percent of high school graduates now expressing interest in higher education, it is no longer possible to think of one sector in the absence of the other. K-12 and higher education are inextricably connected and we need to better understand that connection—what it means for our students and their families, our educational institutions, our workforce, society, and world. In short, by thinking of education policy and the study of K-16 as a single pipeline, albeit a circuitous one with many blockages and leaks, the goal of this project is to broaden our understanding of the modern American education system and to make sense of the intersecting political, social, economic, and intellectual forces that have irrevocably pushed that system toward “convergence.”

Education Governance for the Twenty-First Century: Overcoming the Structural Barriers to School Reform (Brookings Institution Press, 2013). (Co-Edited with Paul Manna)Co-sponsored by the Center for American Progress and the Fordham Institute

The past twenty years have witnessed major challenges to long-standing forms of K-12 education governance in the United States. The country’s tradition of local control of schools has been challenged by persistent racial and socio-economic achievement gaps and the poor performance of American students compared to their international peers. Several new actors, institutions, and approaches to schooling have begun to offer alternatives that would reshape how our schools are managed and financed. Education governance is in a moment of profound transition. Although long-standing institutions such as state agencies and local school boards persist, the relationships among them, their leaders, the politicians that oversee them, the interest groups that pressure them, and their own respective responsibilities are all in flux. The federal government has altered its role from funder to change agent. New delivery systems (e.g. charter schools, virtual schools) fit awkwardly if at all into the old structures. The moment is ripe for a comprehensive assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of what remains of the old, what has emerged of the new, and what alternative configurations would produce better educational outcomes for children. This edited volume aims to provide a roadmap for adapting the country’s 19th and 20th century governance structures for public education to the changed demands of the 21st century.

No Child Left Behind and the Transformation of Federal Education Policy, 1965-2005 (University Press of Kansas, June 2006) Selected as a Choice “Outstanding Academic Book”

The book seeks to explain the recent transformation and expansion of national involvement in education in light of the country’s history of decentralized school governance and the longstanding opposition of both liberals and conservatives to an active, reform-oriented federal role in schools. More broadly, it examines how national politicians and political parties use salient policy issues in the pursuit of electoral advantage and utilizes a historically-based policy regimes framework to explain how reformers are sometimes able to overcome


institutional and political obstacles to bring about major policy change. It argues that education has played a major—even decisive—role in broader political and ideological debates in the U.S. over the past twenty years because it emerged as a “swing issue” with vital electoral significance in an era of partisan parity and narrow electoral margins.

CURRENT BOOK PROJECT The Failure Success of No Child Left Behind: How the Law Transformed American Education Policy and Politics

This project will build on my earlier work by examining how the ambitious and controversial expansion of federal power in schools has reconfigured educational politics and practice in the U.S. Based on over 100 interviews (which have already been conducted) the project will examine ongoing efforts at both the state and federal level to restructure administrative institutions and relationships, create new political alliances, and reframe public debates over school reform. The book will provide an in-depth analysis of the inter-governmental negotiations over the implementation of NCLB and their impact on the Congressional debate over the law’s reauthorization. The evolution of federal education policy will be used to shed light on the contours of 21st century American politics, the dynamics of contemporary federalism, and the ability of reformers to sustain major policy changes over time.
