National Commissions: Blueprints for Remodeling or Ceremonies for Revitalizing Public Schools.

Deal, Terrence E.

Education and Urban Society, v17 n2 p145-56 Feb 1985

Examines the organizational implications of the recent education reform panels and commissions, including the question of expected linkage between reports and action at the local level. Looks at the commissions as ceremonies with deep symbolic meaning and the potential power to express, shape, reorganize, or create educational values. (RDN)
