Abstract
This article analyzes New York, California, Texas, and Florida curriculum policies in light of their potential to control local practice. Four characteristics—consistency, prescriptiveness, authority, and power—are used to assess the ability of these policies to influence local decisions about what and how to teach. Findings indicate that state policies may have reduced, but have not eliminated, local curriculum control.
