No More Classes? Framing Pedagogy in a Self-Paced Secondary School.
St. Clair, Ralf
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v47 n3 p206-21 Fall 2001
Analysis of an outcome-based, self-paced high school in Canada demonstrates the difficulty of changing the "grammar of schooling" even through extensive reform. The need to be seen as a successful school and the unintended consequences of pedagogical changes practically neutralized the intended reform, leaving the school's middle-class culture undisturbed.
