Degrees of School Democracy: A Holistic Framework
Woods, Philip A.; Woods, Glenys J.
Journal of School Leadership, v22 n4 p707-732 Jul 2012
This article outlines an analytical framework that enables analysis of degrees of democracy in a school or other organizational setting. It is founded in a holistic conception of democracy, which is a model of working together that aspires to truth, goodness, and meaning and the participation of all. We suggest that the analytical framework can be used not only for research purposes but also to help enhance democratic professional participation. It is a resource for collaborative professional development by practitioners, offering a vehicle for school communities to reflect together on where they are as a school and where they would like to be. (Contains 2 figures, 1 table, and 11 notes.)
