Indigenous Invention: New Promise for School Reform.
Heckman, Paul E.; Peterman, Francine
Teachers College Record, v98 n2 p307-27 Win 1996
Describes two current educational reform strategies: "implementation-of-innovations," which fails to promote sufficient change for all children to succeed; and "indigenous intervention," which encourages indigenous school and community members to create change that will engage students. Describes the Educational and Community Change Project (centered at the University of Arizona-Tucson), which advocates total school reinvention. (SM)
