Understanding Education Policy: The ‘Four Education Orientations’ Framework

Tiffany Jones (2013) attempts to review the previous research related to policy analysis frameworks and examines the educational orientations in order to assert an orientation-based conceptual framework for policy analyses in her book, Understanding Education Policy: The ‘Four Education Orientations’ Framework. The book draws insights for a variety of audiences including undergraduate and graduate students in the education policy area, educators, educational administrators, policy researchers, and policy makers. Jones contributes to the discussion and debates around education policies by making them more understandable through the use of an implicit language.
