  In Roundtable Session: Analyzing Policy From All Angles: Content, Concepts, and Contradictions

Abstract

Through this work, the author focused on identifying how NCATE and CAEP conceptualized diversity and social justice within their standards, and to what degree they emphasized these concepts. Although these concepts evolved over time, they generally maintained alignment with the research on multicultural education. The author also examined socio-political influences on these conceptions and found that educational policy has had an increasing level of influence into the standards language, especially in recent years.
