RE:LEARNING: A Challenge to the Culture.
Taylor, Edward E., II; Hampel, Robert L.
International Journal of Educational Reform, v5 n4 p421-28 Oct 1996
A Delaware middle-school principal reflects on a small town's provincial, picayune mindset when confronted with the RE:LEARNING project. Community culture made change very difficult; tradition and stakeholders' fears worked against new initiatives. Also, the district's commitment to the project was very superficial, and local politics stifled reform within the school. (14 references) (MLH)
