Poking Around: Outsiders View Chicago School Reform.

Katz, Michael B.; Fine, Michelle; Simon, Elaine

Teachers College Record, v99 n1 p117-57 Fall 1997

Describes a longitudinal observation of Chicago school reform by a research team, and chronicles a method for tracking the implications of school reform over time. The study concludes that Chicago school reform gained strength because it originated as a broad-based social movement that spread ownership among many groups and defined reform as an ongoing process.
