Teacher Empowerment: A Step toward Professionalization. A "Bulletin" Special.
Maeroff, Gene I.
NASSP Bulletin, v72 n511 p52-54,56-60 Nov 1988
Teacher empowerment can be better appreciated if viewed as professionalization, rather than an exercise in worrying about who the boss is. This article discusses three guiding principles toward empowerment (status, knowledge, and access to decision-making), separate needs and vantage points of teachers and administrators, and teacher autonomy.
