Charter schools have emerged as the latest model for |
|
school reform. This handbook contextualizes the emergence |
|
of the charter-school concept by examining both the |
|
broader political shift in educational governance toward |
|
local control and the more specific movement in school |
|
reform toward greater institutional autonomy and school- |
|
based change. The discussion focuses solely on the |
|
emergence of the charter-school concept and its |
|
relationship to past school-reform efforts and the |
|
current movement to alter educational governance. |
|
Borrowing from the first and second waves of reform, the |
|
charter-school concept embodies the values most central |
|
to school improvement in the last decade--accountability, |
|
school-based change, teacher professionalism, and school |
|
choice. The book suggests that the charter-school concept |
|
provides opportunities for school-based change, teacher |
|
empowerment, and accountability that past reforms did |
|
not. (Contains 39 references.) (LMI) |
