EDLD 6025 - Organizations and Policy

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the basic principles and concepts of policy analysis. Policy analysis is considered a problem-solving and policy-design process. The course will also consider the relationship between public goals and the design of policy and will survey the use of generic policy tools such as regulation, contracting and privatization, mandates, inducements, markets, and subsidies. These concepts will be presented using practical examples involving the public policy issues. Central to the theme of this course is the ability for students to recognize that an organization’s chances of survival and later, sustained growth and success, lie in the ability to identify and understand those market forces that create change and how each organization must adapt to survive. Students will engage in problem solving and critical examination of policy analyses conducted by prominent research groups within the field as well as through case study problem-solving.  Students will engage in critical inquiry through the examination of the impact policy has on urban schools and organizational climate.
