School-based management is a reinvention and |
|
countermovement to a broader historical trend to |
|
centralize and standardize American education. The |
|
present study represents one component of the |
|
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's |
|
project to investigate how schools in 12 member nations |
|
can most effectively respond to recent reforms. Chapter 1 |
|
examines the historical context of school-based |
|
management, focusing on the changing locus of control in |
|
American education. Despite the popularity of |
|
decentralized management, concurrent reforms at the |
|
district, state, and federal levels often constrain its |
|
full implementation and further the trend toward |
|
centralization. Chapter 2 introduces the underlying |
|
rationale and practice of school-based management |
|
reforms. Chapter 3 presents a plan for investigating |
|
school-based management in six school districts across |
|
the United States. Chapter 4 describes reform |
|
implementation in each district, and chapter 5 presents a |
|
cross-site comparative analysis of descriptive data. The |
|
final chapter reviews principal findings and provides |
|
recommendations for further reform efforts. Since school- |
|
based management is in an embryonic state, no final |
|
judgment concerning its effectiveness should be made. |
