What's Ahead in Education?: An Analysis of the Policies of the Obama Administration illuminates the educational views of President Barack Obama. This is done by studying his life to date, his writings and speeches, as well as his initiatives thus far, in the field of education. His unique educational background and public service prior to assuming the presidency offers a number of clues as to how he will perform as President. Attention is also paid to those individuals such as his father, mother, his wife, Michelle, and his Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan. By studying his early steps in developing the stimulus package, the Race to the Top, and a blue print for reauthorizing No Child Left Behind, readers can better understand the likely future of the President's education initiatives.
Bill Hayes has organized an extremely thorough and engaging review of President Obama's attempt to deal with a variety of complex and interrelated factors that have and will continue to impact education efforts within our country. His book provides a useful, in-depth analysis of the president's push for comprehensive national education standards along with dramatic increases in funding for public education.
