The Four "I's" of School Reform: How Interests, Ideology, Information, and Institution Affect Teachers and Principals.
Weiss, Carol H.
Harvard Educational Review, v65 n4 p571-92 Win 1995
Examines high schools with and without shared decision making in terms of interests, ideology, information, and the institution. Finds that institutions strongly influenced teachers' willingness to innovate and that they tended to ignore external information sources that would mediate that influence. Principals had more latitude to be reform minded. (SK)
