Taking the Challenge: Factors Related to a District's Decision To Implement Reform.

Lango, Deborah Ramirez; Schwarzbach, Dickson

International Journal of Educational Reform, v11 n3 p251-67 Sum 2002

Study of the conditions that led 32 California school districts to become Challenge Districts, a California Department of Education standards-based, accountability-driven school reform initiative to improve student learning. Finds, for example, that districts chose to become Challenge Districts because they were already working on elements of the reform initiative. (Contains 27 references.) (PKP)
