In her 2005 "Harvard Educational Review" article, titled "What ‘Counts’ as Educational Policy?" Anyon offers what she calls "notes toward a new paradigm" for educational policy analysis and activism. This is perhaps the clearest articulation and summation of Anyon's intellectual contribution, and more, the passionate political commitments of her life. We need a new paradigm, Anyon insists, "one that promotes equity-seeking school change and that includes strategies to create conditions that will allow the educational improvements to take root, grow, and bear fruit in students' lives."
