Catalog description: This course will explore educational reform and leadership in the context of fundamental economic, cultural, and technological changes that have occurred globally particularly in the last 40 years. We will especially study the impact of post-welfare, neoliberal policies on schools, universities, and classrooms, teachers and administrators, the public and private spheres, racialized and gendered identities, and youth culture.

Background of Course:

From the mid-1940s to the mid 1980s, American schools were broadly shaped by an ideology and set of discourses, policies and practices strongly influenced by Welfare State agreements manifested in Roosevelt’s New Deal and Johnson’s Great Society policies. Beginning in the late1970s and early 1980s a new ideology and set of discourses, policies and practices were introduced by both major political parties characterized by some as the “new “ economy or Neoliberalism. With origins in classical liberalism, but more recently in the work of Milton Friedman and his colleagues at the University of Chicago, these ideologies, discourses, policies, and practices are transforming what it means to reform and lead schools.

While perhaps the primary shift has been economic, this seminar will explore other changes that have occurred either parallel with or as a result of these economic shifts. Sometimes referred to as “Globalization,” shifts have also occurred such as 1. changes in information, communication, and media technologies, 2. growing levels of worldwide migration creating new diasporas 3. new ways of constructing identities around ethnicity, gender, race, class, and sexuality, and 4. growing social inequality.

This seminar will explore research that describes the influence of these shifts on

educational goals, reform (NCLB), school leadership, teachers’ work, children, youth, families and local communities. Many scholars are using various research methodologies designed to capture these influences, such as critical ethnography, institutional ethnography, critical policy analysis, and critical discourse analysis. We will experiment some with these methodologies in class, especially critical discourse analysis (CDA).

Seminar Objectives: 1. Participants will demonstrate an understanding of various ideological and theoretical frameworks to explain recent economic, cultural and political shifts and their impact on education.

2. Participants will demonstrate an understanding of various issues associated with recent economic, cultural, and political shifts interact with school leadership and Educational reform/policy.

3. Participants will demonstrate an understanding of how these shifts are manifested—often in contradictory ways--in the everyday life of students, teachers, schools, and local communities, how these groups take up, accommodate, or resist them, and how researchers are responding methodologically to these changes.

4. Participants will demonstrate an understanding of educational policies and practices that might effectively address these economic, cultural, and political shifts, including leadership models, curricular and instructional practices, and national, state and school level policies.

5. Students will learn to analyze neoliberal texts and discourses using Critical Discourse Analysis.
