Buying School Reform: The Annenberg Grant.
McAdoo, Maisie
Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n5 p364-69 Jan 1998
In New York City, a $25 million Annenberg grant was targeted to 100 individual schools to empower their staffs via innovative networks and accountability structures. However, the changes that graced the proposals did not create the desired momentum. Targeting school-level groups cannot in itself lead to systemwide change. Problems arose from teachers' inexperience with systemwide policy making, misguided "scalability" efforts, and insufficient allies. (MLH)
