Description: This seminar focuses on the design, governance, transformation, and democratic accountability of public sector organizations. Drawing on domestic and foreign case studies from the private, public, and social sectors in domains reaching well beyond K-12 education, but always coming back to that sphere, students evaluate and apply a number of models for how institutions define objectives and measure success, produce and deploy knowledge, govern internal operations, supervise dispersed street-level staffs, and make themselves accountable to key stakeholders and the public at large. Students explore a number of tools modem organizations use for these purposes, including design thinking, quantitative analysis, qualitative evaluation, balanced scorecards, team-based problem-solving structures, and cooperative "regimes" of public and private actors.
