The States' Impact on Federal Education Policy
New Perspectives on Research and the Historical Record
An Invitational Conference
May 8–9, 2008 • Holiday Inn Capitol • Washington D.C.
During the past half-century, federal education policy has had a profound impact on K–12 education in the United States—and states have been active players in shaping that policy. Our conference will:
- Raise awareness about the impact of states on the development of pre-K–12 federal education policy,
- Stimulate new research around education policy and federalism, and
- Highlight the value of archival materials and other tools to support further research on the topic.
This innovative conference brings together education policymakers, education officials and practitioners, researchers, and archivists engaged with records related to pre-K–12 education policy and federalism.
