Introduction

Welcome to the Education Policy Program Research Guide

This research guide provides resources to help support the goals of the Education Policy Program to "examine both formal and informal institutions of schooling and the political, legal, bureaucratic, organizational, economic, and social factors that affect both schools and the broader educational enterprise."
