In a context of increased politicization led by state and federal policymakers, corporate reformers, and for-profit educational organizations, The Politics of Education Policy in an Era of Inequality explores a new vision for leading schools grounded in culturally relevant advocacy and social justice theories.This timely volume tackles the origins and implications of growing accountability for educational leaders and reconsiders the role that educational leaders should and can play in education policy and political processes. This book provides a critical perspective and analysis of today's education policy landscape and leadership practice; explores the challenges and opportunities associated with teaching in and leading schools; and examines the structural, political, and cultural interactions among school principals, district leaders, state and federal policy actors, and increasingly powerful non-state actors.

Review

'The Politics of Education Policy in an Era of Inequality provides readers an indispensable and easily accessible view of education leadership and policymaking in today's world. This comprehensive education policy primer leaves no stone unturned.'Chezare Warren, Peabody College of Education and Human Development, Vanderbuilt University, USA.'This is a timely text that is much needed during this era of anti-equity politics of education fueled by an orchestrated conservative backlash. Douglass, Scott and Anderson make a convincing case for a more comprehensive critical policy analysis that takes back equity for true social justice along race, gender, LGBTQI identity issues and social class material conditions'Laurence Parker, University of Utah, USA.
