Second Book:

Negotiated Settlement: Policy Feedback and the Implementation and Reauthorization of NCLB

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. It 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 political and policy evolution of NCLB will be used to shed light on the contours of 21 st century American federalism and the ability of reformers to sustain major policy changes over time.
