Framing Education Reform in the Common Core Era: The Power of Language and Rhetoric in Policymaking

By: Salome, Melanie R.

This book looks at K-12 public education in the United States from its beginnings, provides context for changes, and analyzes the voices that have changed its trajectory by implementing the Common Core Standards. It examines how the rhetoric of wealthy and political leaders forged a new path leading up to the Common Core Standards. The continual political shuffling of education policy has been a consistent theme with power, language, and rhetoric at the forefront of these changes by each presidential administration. In analyzing the rhetoric of those in charge of policy at a federal level and examining dissenting voices to such policy changes, this allows for the understanding of how the United States arrived at its current educational landscape.
