Accountability, School Reform, and Equity: The Troubling Case of Sylvan School District.
Berry, Barnett
Urban Review, v28 n3 p233-56 Sep 1996
Focuses on a low-performing school district to review the problems of school reform and accountability, and to reveal the set of prevailing conditions and themes that make change more complicated. It is argued that the politics of race, poverty, the vacuums in communication and leadership, and the uncritical mass of human resources dramatically limit change and reform. (GR)
