PISA, Policy and the OECD

Focusing on the OECD's PISA for Schools test, this book delves into its global educational governance and policy cycle, from development to local implementation in the U.S. Using a policy sociology lens, it highlights how spatiality and power influence educational practices. The author reveals how PISA for Schools shapes local schooling through distinct yet interconnected methods: governing by heterarchy, respatialisation, and the promotion of 'best practice', ultimately affecting how education is perceived and enacted in various contexts.
