	Restructuring schools has become a rallying cry among
	educators. It aims to create schools that are more
	centered on learner's needs for active, experiential,
	cooperative, and culturally connected learning
	opportunities supportive of individual talents and
	learning styles. This report is based on an early
	evaluation of the process of restructuring in 12 schools
	in the "Schools of Tomorrow...Today" (ST/T) project run
	by the New York City Teacher Centers Consortium of the
	United Federation of Teachers. The context for
	understanding school restructuring is related in terms of
	a set of building blocks that include: rethinking the
	curriculum and instruction in order to promote quality
	and equality for all students; recreating the structure
	of the school; and building partnerships, coalitions, and
	networks. The ST/T project initiated the building of work
	teams to initiate change. Changes in organizational
	structures and in student discipline procedures are two
	of the four categories addressed. Issues confronted in
	the process of restructuring schools concern: (1)
	inadequate resources; (2) relationships between personnel
	at all levels; and (3) organizational support needs.
	Early lessons include the relations between process and
	content, redefining success, building team relationships,
	and linking the team to the school. Conclusions and
	recommendations are given. (25 references) (RR)
