Winkler, Amber M.; Scull, Janie; Zeehandelaar, Dara – Thomas B. Fordham Institute, 2012
In recent years, debates over school reform have increasingly focused on the role of teacher unions in the changing landscape of American K-12 education.

Greene, Jay; Loveless, Tom; MacLeod, W. Bentley; Nechyba, Thomas; Peterson, Paul; Rosenthal, Meredith; Whitehurst, Grover – Brookings Institution, 2010
Choice is most frequently realized within the public sector using the mechanisms of residence, magnet schools, and open enrollment systems, whereas the voucher-like systems applauded by choice advocates and feared by opponents are extremely rare. Further, the charter sector is neither large enough nor sufficiently prepared to go to scale to…

Zuckerman, David W. – 1993
Evaluations of school restructuring, particularly school-based management (SBM) and shared decision making (SDM), have tended to focus on problems of implementation and on its consequent failure to fulfill its promises. Inadequate resources, unclear responsibilities, inhibiting regulations, and institutional resistance have all been cited as…

Wohlstetter, Priscilla; And Others – 1994
While school-based management (SBM) is increasingly becoming a part of state and district reform efforts, there is little evidence that it improves school performance. However, this may be an unrealistic expectation for a governance-oriented reform. SBM also can improve organizational performance not only when people at lower levels are brought…

Early efforts at site-based decision making in Texas created many diverse questions about how to proceed.

In others, strong campus control was established and effective self-governance plans were created. This monograph presents the…

In Prince George's County, Maryland, Superintendent Jerome Clark told staffs of low-performing schools to resign and reapply for positions. New principals were hired, and schools were restaffed.

Peterson-del Mar, David – 1994
Coalition building and school restructuring unfortunately do not always occur together. But the two forces can complement each other and combine their resources and strengths. Coalitions are organizations or groups of individuals who share a commitment to a particular issue. Although coalitions involved in school restructuring may in the long run…
