Policy and the Political Life of Music Education

Autor Patrick Schmidt, Richard Colwell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 apr 2017
Policy and the Political Life of Music Education is the first book of its kind in the field of Music Education. It offers a far-reaching and innovative outlook, bringing together expert voices who provide a multifaceted and global set of insights into a critical arena for action today: policy. On one hand, the book helps the novice to make sense of what policy is, how it functions, and how it is discussed in various parts of the world; while on the other, it offers the experienced educator a set of critically written analyses that outline the state of the play of music education policy thinking. As policy participation remains largely underexplored in music education, the book helps to clarify to teachers how policy thinking does shape educational action and directly influences the nature, extent, and impact of our programs. The goal is to help readers understand the complexities of policy and to become better skilled in how to think, speak, and act in policy terms. The book provides new ways to understand and therefore imagine policy, approximating it to the lives of educators and highlighting its importance and impact. This is an essential read for anyone interested in change and how to better understand decision-making within music and education. Finally, this book, while aimed at the growth of music educators' knowledge-base regarding policy, also fosters 'open thinking' regarding policy as subject, helping educators straddling arts and education to recognize that policy thinking can offer creative designs for educational change.

Recenzii

[It] not only provides the general readership with a well-rounded basis for comprehending music education policy in various regions, but it also offers music education stakeholders' perspectives regarding the meaning, value, and the importance of participating in policy development and its implementation ... This book provides comprehensive academic insights. It would be not only an entry point of readers' approach on music education policy, but also a scholastic discourse for further debate and research.
Schmidt and Colwell's Policy and the Political Life of Music Education provides a thorough introduction to many of the historical, contemporary, and global issues surrounding music education policy. Additionally, the book encourages music educators of differentiated experiences in policy to further explore new ideas not fullyextrapolated in the text.
Policy and the Political Life of Music Education maintains that every music educator is essential to the process and progress of policy in the United States. These writings allow each of us to become active policy makers by finding a common vocabulary for discussion, goal-setting, and decision making that will influence the quality and nature of our music programs for years to come.
