EDUC 8801 - Educational Law, Public Policy, and Political Systems

(4 cr.) This course is an overview of the interconnections and influence of educational policy, politics, and law upon student welfare; ethical decision making; equitable distributions of rewards and sanctions; and community relations in a diverse, global environment. Education professionals synthesize these domains within the theoretical and problem-based context of political environments, organizational structures; policy research; legal mandates; institutional climate; culture; diversity; and local, state, and federal influences. They also engage in topical readings and case studies that bridge policy management, political strategies, and statutory and regulatory standards.
