Policy Making. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, and Xxxxx Xxxxxx The Oxford Handbook of Gender and Politics Print Publication Date: Mar 2013 Online Publication Date: Aug 2013 Subject: Political Science, Public Policy, Comparative Politics DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199751457.013.0027 This article is concerned with policy making, which can help (re)produce gender and gender inequality, beginning with a wider overview of feminist policy studies and then connecting the available knowledge from different subdisciplines.

It is the task of school management to ensure that national and local authority policy statements are fully discussed and imaginatively implemented within educational establishments. Open discussion involving staff at every level is essential if schools are to xxxxxx the participative style of management which is required. Participation in decision making can serve to enhance self esteem and thereby improve motivation. It is likely that staff will feel a greater degree of commitment to policies which they have personally been involved in developing. Teachers as professionals should be entitled to contribute to debates on major policy issues.
