米国では教育政策の方向性をめぐり、州議会、教育委員会、地域社会で論争が起きています。内容は、履修内容の策定基準から、教師の業績を判断するテストの結果に至るまでさまざまで、人口動態の変化、テクノロジーの急速な発展、経済や職場の変容などが背景に挙げられます。教育関係者は新型コロナウイルス感染症の大流行を機に、社会における学校の使命についても再考を迫られています。
本書は教育政策の専門家として全米で知られるデイヴィッド・カープとケヴィン・マクファーソンが、今日の幼稚園から高校までの教育政策と現場の主な問題点について、バランスのとれたわかりやすい解説を提供するものです。どのような価値観が教育の指針となるのか、そしてその価値観は、どのように政策や教育の現場に取り入れられるべきか、主な議論の断層を明らかにしています。また、学校改善の原動力として、公平性と機会の平等、市場と官僚主義的なメカニズムの間の緊張に焦点をあてています。この分野を論じる際には支持政党が大きく影響しがちですが、イデオロギーに流されない、研究結果に基づいたアプローチで、人種統合、チャータースクール(地域の教育行政機関から認可を受けて設置し、公費で運営される公設民営型の学校)、生徒の権利、教員組合といった、熱い論争が繰り広げられている幅広いテーマを取り上げています。今日の教育政策の主要な議論に、真に迫った概説書です。

A compelling overview of the major debates in contemporary education policy.
   
In statehouses, school boards, and communities across the US, battles are raging over the direction of education policy--from the standards that are shaping what students learn to how test results are being used to judge a teacher's performance. These battles are being waged against a backdrop of shifting demographics, rapidly developing technology, a transforming economy and workplace. What's more, the COVID-19 pandemic is prompting educators to rethink the school's mission in society.
    
In The Education Debate: What Everyone Needs to Know®, nationally recognized education authority David Kirp and Kevin Macpherson provide a balanced, accessible overview of the key policy and practice issues in pre k-12 education today. They expose the fault lines of the major debates--what values should guide education and how can those values best be incorporated in policy and practice. They focus on equity and equality of opportunity as well as the tension between market and bureaucratic mechanisms as drivers of school improvement. Many of the topics they address, including racial integration, charter schools, student rights and teachers' unions, are hotly contested. In an area where partisanship reigns, Kirp and Macpherson take an approach guided by research and not driven by ideology. A primer for educational policymakers and administrators, parents, and undergraduate and graduate students in education courses, The Education Debate offers a solid grasp of the major debates in contemporary education policy.
