Jennings brings an insider's knowledge to this account, offering a vivid analysis of federal efforts in the education arena and revealing some of the factors that shaped their enactment. His rich descriptions and lively anecdotes provide pointed lessons about the partisan climate that stymies much federal policy making today. After assessing the impacts of Title I and NCLB, and exploring the variety of ways that the federal government has intervened in education, Jennings sets forth an ambitious agenda for reframing education as a federal civil right and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Jennings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612507964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612507965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard Education PR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.81h x 6.86w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2015","brand":"Jack Jennings","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136827732223,"sku":"9781612507965","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2060fa16-75bb-4ca7-89d3-0a51678a8d84.jpg?v=1770164791","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/presidents-congress-and-the-public-jack-jennings-9781612507965","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
