Description
- Abstract:
- This guidebook describes ten capacities that are associated with the developing stages of reform, including enhancing energy flow, teaming, and creating structures for decentralized decision making. It grew out of a research study focused on the processes schools use to initiate and sustain reforms. The purpose of the study was to learn more about how schools become successful and then maintain success. The aim of the publication is not to describe the attributes of successful schools, which has often been done in educational research, but rather to describe the process of becoming a successful school and what it takes to do so. What It Takes is intended for use by schools embarking on reform and also by state- and district-level policymakers. One of the primary goals is to help school staff ask questions that promote discussion and reflection about important issues, particularly those related to the capacities they have in place and those they need to develop. Another is to inform policymakers designing supports and incentives for schools that are trying to change practices.. Published 2000 by The Education Alliance at Brown University.
