Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Race to the Top is a new policy lever in the struggle for authority in educational governance among various levels of government, and it provides an opportunity to examine the state-level policymaking context. Tennessee passed comprehensive education reform legislation in an effort to win the competition. This effort was successful: the Volunteer State was one of two winning states in the first round. I conducted a two-part case study of the events surrounding the state's application and the development of an educator evaluation policy as required by the legislation. Interviews with key actors in the policymaking process reveal that the legislation was not an isolated attempt to improve education, but part of a series of steps led by the governor. His proactive leadership and inclusive style were crucial factors in the legislation's successful passage. The legislation established a 15 member committee of diverse backgrounds to develop policy recommendations for an annual educator evaluation system. Interviews with these committee members and an analysis of pertinent documents show the institutional challenges the committee faced and the ways in which the process was open to public input. This study presents an examination of rapid, fully supported policy change in one state, including a description of how non-traditional actors developed policy. It is a story of how democracy worked--cooperation, coercion, or backroom deals--in one Southern state as it tries to improve education for its youngest citizens. Implications for policy and practice are discussed as are steps for future research.
Download or read book Government and Politics in Tennessee written by William Lyons and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Americans are more aware of the workings of the federal government than of their own state government. But these "laboratories of democracy" constitute perhaps the most creative and successful component of the American political experiment. Like each of the states, Tennessee state government has a distinct history and a political culture that reflects that history. This book places Tennessee's modern political institutions in the context of the history and personalities that formed them. They pay special attention to the period after 1978, when three governors left a lasting impression on the direction and culture of the state government. Separate chapters examine the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, explaining how and why Tennessee's political culture differs from other states. The book also explores the ways in which education, health care, corrections, and economic development define much of the government agenda. Additional chapters on the media, political campaigns, and local government provide a backdrop that elucidates more fully how the state government functions. The authors profile many of the personalities who have shaped the state's political agenda. Among these are longtime Senate Democratic Speaker John Wilder; his close ally, Senate Republican Leader Ben Atchley; House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh, son of a Lebanese immigrant; and Bill Snodgrass, who served as State Comptroller for forty-seven years. The book explains how each of these individuals related to three Tennessee governors, Republicans Lamar Alexander and Don Sundquist and Democrat Ned McWherter, whose administrations presided over the state's greatest period of growth and prosperity. Illustrated with photographs and tables, and featuring anecdotal sidebars that illuminate key issues, this book will become the standard text on Tennessee state government and politics for years to come.

Download or read book Sprawl Minimization and Tennessee s State Growth Management Policy written by Lann Kathleen Brumlik and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, the state of Tennessee passed the Growth Policy Act seeking to minimize urban sprawl. The legislation required municipalities to delineate urban growth boundaries as part of mandated countywide growth policy plans, yet provides a wide degree of discretion to local governments. This research provides an assessment of the state's growth management policy and its local implementation in the small city of Tullahoma, Tennessee. Through analysis of the state's regulatory, institutional, and consistency provisions, weaknesses in the Growth Policy Act are identified that compromise its ability to effectively manage growth. An audit of Tullahoma's planning documents and an analysis of local development patterns reveal practices incongruous with the state's intent to minimize urban sprawl. The research identifies concerns that must be addressed to strengthen state and local growth management in Tennessee, and details a process by which municipalities can evaluate local planning practices for alignment with growth management principles.
