Abstract

Using over 350 hours of observational data from district-level meetings, we investigate how leaders support their interpretations of problems and proposed solutions during closed-door negotiations around three policy decisions, and how they invoke race, class, and language in the process. District leaders primarily cite constraints from stakeholders, practical realities, and policies during deliberations. They also draw on beliefs, values, and—to a lesser extent—information like research and data. Race, class, and language discourses were layered with values-based reasons, and most often addressed structural challenges to equity. The balance of attention to these factors depended on the configuration of participants and the nature of the policy decision itself, particularly decision makers’ perception that it would be controversial among certain groups.

约束、价值与资讯:一个地区的领导人如何在教学决策中证明他们的立场
利用350多个小时的地区级会议观察数据,我们调查了领导人在围绕三项政策决定的闭门谈判中如何支持他们对问题的解释和提出的解决方案,以及他们在此过程中如何引用种族、阶级和语言。地区领导人在审议期间主要引用来自利益相关者、实际现实和政策的限制。他们还会利用信仰、价值观,以及(在较小程度上)研究和数据等信息。种族、阶级和语言话语都是基于价值观的原因分层的,最常见的是针对公平的结构性挑战。对这些因素的注意的平衡取决于参与者的构成和政策决定本身的性质,特别是决策者认为它将在某些群体中引起争议的看法。
