The Music of Deliberation.
Beck, Terence
Educational Leadership, v55 n7 p37-40 Apr 1998
Although democratic decision making offers the best hope for public support of schools, simple majority rule is not enough. Deliberation is needed for long-term community engagement. A Washington State elementary school's broad-based site leadership team sets school direction and handles issues influencing student learning. This team successfully led a deliberative process to determine how musical pullout activities should be treated. (10 references) (MLH)
