Designing Site-Based Systems, Deriving a Theory of Practice.
Bauer, Scott C.
International Journal of Educational Reform, v7 n2 p108-21 Apr 1998
Reviews five dimensions (focus, scope, structure, process, and capacity) of an organizational design used by 20 New York districts planning for site-based management (SBM) implementation. The confusion surrounding devolution of decision making hinders districts' efforts to effect changes in intermediate variables (job satisfaction and staff morale) and student achievement. SBM needs a district focus centered on students. (56 references) (MLH)
