Described are six elementary schools in Virginia that were judged as meeting nine criteria for programs facilitating participatory decision-making by teachers. The term "participatory decision-making" refers to the sharing of decisions on school policies and practices between teachers and school administrators. Information on the schools' programs was obtained through a survey and a telephone interview. While the focus of the descriptions was teacher involvement, at least one of the projects described the extension of participatory decision-making to student and parent groups. The six program profiles are organized around six topics: (1) program development and goals; (2) organizational structure; (3) required resources; (4) assessment; (5) future of the program; and (6) advice to others. Related demographic information is provided in each profile. Concluding discussion: (1) reports accomplishments of the projects in the areas of communications, school climate, and other accomplishments; (2) offers suggestions for assessing similar projects; and (3) describes obstacles to success. Nearly 60 references are cited in a bibliography on participatory decision-making. The survey instrument and related materials are appended. (RH)
