FreshEd #165 – Critiquing School Based Management (D. Brent Edwards Jr.)

How did School Based Management become an approach to educational governance found across the world? Where did it come from and what institutions advanced the idea globally? Today I speak with Brent Edwards, an Associate Professor of Theory and Methodology in the Study of Education at the University of Hawaii. He has spent over a decade researching the phenomenon of School Based Management. In his search for democratic alternatives to dominant education models, he has shown in various publications how market fundamentalism is embedded inside the very idea of School Based Management. http://www.freshedpodcast.com/dbrentedwardsjr/ Twitter: @FreshEdpodcast Facebook: FreshEd Email: info@freshedpodcast.com
