Legal Foundations of Education
About this book
In this volume, leading leading scholars and practitioners introduce law as foundational discipline in education. The legal foundations of education include the laws and policies through which particular states establish and maintain public school systems; require parents and guardians to enroll the children in their care in approved educational programs; mandate that particular subjects be taught in particular ways by persons with particular credentials; regulate teacher certification standards and teacher employment; and ensure school safety, effectiveness, and efficiency. Education law is a field of practice and scholarly inquiry within the legal foundations of education which is concerned primarily with the constitutional rights of students, teachers and other personnel in schools. About the Educational Foundations series: Education, as an academic field taught at universities around the world, emerged from a range of older foundational disciplines. The Educational Foundations series comprises six volumes, each covering one of the foundational disciplines of philosophy, history, sociology, policy studies, economics and law. This is the first reference work to provide an authoritative and up-to-date account of all six disciplines, showing how each field's ideas, methods, theories and approaches can contribute to research and practice in education today. The six volumes cover the same set of key topics within education, which also form the chapter titles: - Mapping the Field
- Purposes of Education
- Curriculum
- Schools and Education Systems
- Learning and Human Development
- Teaching and Teacher Education
- Assessment and Evaluation This structure allows readers to study the volumes in isolation, by discipline, or laterally, by topic, and facilitates a comparative, thematic reading of chapters across the volumes. Throughout the series, attention is paid to how the disciplines comprising the educational foundations speak to social justice concerns such as gender and racial equality.
