President Obama and Education Reform: The Personal and the Political

President Obama and Education Reform offers a comprehensive description and analysis of President Obamas education agenda. The Obama administration has created numerous interlocking policies meant to foster class mobility and long-term economic growth through educational improvements, reforms that have drawn skepticism from supporters of traditional public schools. Robert Maranto and Michael Q. McShane have a more positive view. They believe that the Obama-era reforms reflect long-term changes in ideology and technology which have led to successful innovation in both the private and public sector, and that Obamas personal background as a community organizer has informed his reform strategies for the better.
