Rethinking Policy for Children: Implications for Educational Administration by Michael W. Kirst, Milbrey W. McLaughlin & Diane Massell - 1990The current fragmentation across children's
services represents a fundamental failure to confront the comprehensive
needs of children, youth, and adults. Those responsible for
providing services to children have neglected to begin with the simple,
provocative question: What is it like to be a child who needs help? The current top-down policy approach operates from the organizational
perspective of the multiple providers. We outline here the changing
conditions and needs of children to form a basis for analyzing the
effectiveness of the current services delivered to them. We then move
to the conditions of the services as they presently exist, and to
prescriptions for improving and reconceptualizing policies and
administrative approaches. Finally, we delineate the role of the schools
in this new conceptualization. To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropriate membership. Please review your options below: | This article originally appeared as NSSE Yearbook Vol 89, No. 2. |
