This document presents findings from a congressionally |
|
mandated study of school-based reform, which developed in |
|
tandem with congressional interest in making the Chapter |
|
2 program more focused on school-improvement efforts. |
|
Data were obtained from a survey of a nationally |
|
representative sample of 1,550 school districts; mail and |
|
telephone surveys of all state education agencies; and |
|
case studies of reform efforts in 5 states, 16 school |
|
districts, and 32 schools. Following the introductory |
|
chapter, the second chapter offers school portraits and |
|
survey data to describe the nature and extent of school- |
|
based reform. The third chapter describes how schools and |
|
local districts work together to support school-based |
|
reform. The fourth chapter describes the role of states |
|
and the federal government in facilitating and inhibiting |
|
school change. Promising school-based reform efforts |
|
occurred in schools that focused on the classroom |
|
(curriculum, teaching, and learning); developed a |
|
collaborative professional culture; and made maximum |
|
effort to develop professional capacities. Eleven |
|
exhibits and 11 figures are included. Contains 14 |
|
references. (LMI) |
