Going Forward...“Education policy should serve to guide and facilitate our work as educators, whether we are teachers in the classroom, building administrators, or school board officials. Education policy in the big picture should serve to guide and facilitate teaching and learning" (Delaney, 2017, p. 100).“In education specifically, I think we need to step back and assess where policy has gotten us over the past several years. There have been policy plusses and policy minuses. And so, in this chapter, we consider the need for more basic research, which might improve the quality of our policies in education” (Delaney, 2017, p. 94).
