Students Matter in School Reform: Leaving Fingerprints and Becoming Leaders
Osberg, Jerusha; Pope, Denise; Galloway, Mollie
International Journal of Leadership in Education, v9 n4 p329-343 Oct 2006
Our examination of three schools demonstrates how students can be involved in school reform by giving input about problems, helping design the reform, and sharing implementation responsibilities with adult leaders. Their involvement affects both the reform--as students leave their fingerprints on it--and the students themselves, who show signs of emerging leadership. (Contains 1 table.)
