Hello classmates! A little bit about me…I reside in central Texas with my son (9), daughter (3), and husband. My husband is the sergeant of school resource officers in our county. I am in my 6th year of teaching and currently serving as a K-5 gifted and talented teacher. Something unique about me is that I have a family full of educators including my mom, uncle, 3 aunts, brother, sister, sister-in-law, and best friend.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I hope that this course provides me with a solid foundation for understanding policies of education in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The three actors that I chose to discuss the impact of are the U.S. Constituion, the U.S. Secretary of Education, and the U.S. Congress. A<\/span>ll play significant roles in shaping educational policies in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
  1. The U.S. Constituion: The Tenth Amendment reserves the powers that are not delegated to the federal government by the states. Education usually falls under state jurisdiction. Due to this, the Constitution does not formally grant the federal government control when it comes to education (Spring 1). Despite this, it does create a \u201cframework\u201d for what federal involvement can be through clauses such as the Equal Protection Clause and the Commerce Clause. These clauses have been used to justify what federal interventions are appropriate in education, especially focused on civil rights and funding.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The U.S. Secretary of Education: This person leads the U.S. Department of Education and plays a vital role in setting the national education agenda. The Secretary advises the President on current educational policies and administers federal education programs in the US (Spring 1). They can also influence policies by proposing initiatives as well as advocating for legislative changes. They can also distribute federal funding as well as interpret the laws related to education.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The U.S. Congress: Congress holds the primary authority to pass legislation that is related to education in regards to the federal level. Congress can enact laws such as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). These laws outline federal educational policy in the U.S. The federal budget is also controlled by Congress (Spring 1). It allocates funds for education programs and initiatives. Congressional committees oversee education policy, hold hearings, and can also influence educational policy. They can do this through hearings and investigations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n

    Working together, these three entities create a framework for educational policies in the United States (Spring 1). However, a large portion of educational policy and decision-making is left to state and local levels (Spring 1). This respects the diverse needs and priorities of different communities and students across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
