School Reform in Chicago: A Study of Structures and Symbols.

Stefkovich, Jacqueline A.; Guba, Gloria J.

International Journal of Educational Reform, v4 n2 p131-42 Apr 1995

The structures and symbols of the Chicago (Illinois) school reform movement were explored through a case study in one Chicago elementary school. Changes were built on a framework of organizational symbols and metaphors of the building as a home, the school as a family, and the principal as leader. (SLD)
