The authors argue that failing to consider the environment of the policy making processes on program design and advocacy hinders understanding about p…
The Impact of Student Employment on Teachers' Attitudes and Behaviors Toward Working Students
Part-time and full-time work is increasingly common among many American high school students. There is a substantial body of research on the relationship of youth work with individual academic and socioeconomic outcomes, but we know little about how schools and teachers themselves have responded to the shift among their students toward intensified work involvement. Our research analyzes teachers' views of working students and the impact of studen…

Environmental factors are accentuated in policies employing a strong statute implementation design with little latitude for adaptation and negotiation. A case study of one aspect of the Guaranteed Student Loan Program illustrates the a…

Plato's prescription in the Republic and the writings of Knox and Rosseau provide longitudinal evidence of an awareness of the need for systematic evaluation and planning in education. In countries where educ…
