 Education and Policy: Finally a cohesive device February 10, 2008
Dr. Fowler's book provided valuable insight to the nuances surrounding policy from it's earliest inception. Fowler provides the backstage happenings towards implementation and public critique. As an educational leader, it is of the utmost importance for all to have a working understanding of the necessity for educators who formerly were against governmental intervention to come take a rightful seat at the table. Politics can only become a righteous vehicle if the righteous are placing real agenda issues related to policy consequence on the table.

An excellent source of information for the layperson or serious student of American education systems. Dr. Fowler explains in great detail a variety of such substantive areas as the meaning of policy; power and education; a discussion of the policy environment; some types of political systems and culture; ideological and value systems; who sets the stage in the making of education policy; the various stages of the policy process and so forth. Enjoyable! Thorough! Substantive!

This book was very easy to read and understand. Coming from a teaching background, and not knowing anything about policy making, this book was a true education. I used it in my grad class, and every student commented on the ease of understanding and the interest in the text. This is a must buy if you want to learn anything about education, teaching or being an administrator!
