A New Approach to Federal Legislation and Professional Development.

Fagan, Thomas W.

Journal of Staff Development, v16 n2 p18-22 Spr 1995

Goals 2000 differs from previous educational legislation because it requires systemic reform and partnerships. The article discusses Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, explains how legislation is developed, and examines Goals 2000's main provisions, content and performance standards, role in professional development, and ties to other federal programs.
