Frameworks for Analysis of Education Politics

The Politics of Education Association is pleased to announce the third stage in a project to make its web site a one-stop clearinghouse of syllabi, data, and theories for political analysis. The Frameworks Clearinghouse Project collects and displays information on theories and frameworks for the study of educational politics. Descriptions of each of the frameworks collected to date along with citations for future study are available below.

The project is ongoing using a wiki tool that allows users to add to and edit content. Wikipedia is one of the best-known wikis. So sign in to read the framework summaries, add your own, or append your contributions (definitions, clarifications, citations) to existing ones. You can access our Political Frameworks wiki here.
