When Shared Decision Making Works: A 3-Year Longitudinal Study.
Johnson, Margaret J.; Pajares, Frank
American Educational Research Journal, v33 n3 p599-627 Fall 1996

Factors that enhanced the SDM process were the confidence stakeholders had in themselves, resource availability, creation of democratic rules and procedures, early and concrete accomplishments, and the principal's support.
