SynopsisThis book features analyses from various scholars on literacy policy. Sims and Miskel's chapter uses punctuated equilibrium to trace literacy attention peaks, showing it as a durable issue for over 30 years. Shifts in focus reveal distinct patterns in literacy policy for different groups., This volume provides a mix of beginning and established scholars and a range of theoretical perspectives. Eight separate but related analyses were selected for publication this year. The book begins with a chapter by Sims and Miskel, which examines national reading policy as part of a broader federal government agenda on children's literacy. Using a model of punctuated equilibrium, they trace the peaks of congressional and media attention to literacy. Their findings reveal that the broad level of literacy has remained a rather active and durable policy issue for more than three decades. When, however, the analysis shifts to different targets, that is, from elementary and secondary school students to adults and youth to LEP individuals, there are distinct patterns of punctuation and equilibrium. The researchers conclude that the specific issue of children's literacy in the 1990s is the latest version or episode of literacy policy produced by shifting images and venues., A presentation of contributions on various topics related to theory and research in educational administration. It covers: sources and consequences of organic management in elementary and secondary schools; tacit knowledge in educational administration; and transformational leadership and trust.
