Political Responses to Reform: A Comparative Case Study.
Noblit, George; And Others
Education and Urban Society, v23 n4 p379-95 Aug 1991
Comparative case studies assessed how the micropolitics of educational reform in two elementary schools affected one southeastern district's effort to professionalize teaching. The results indicate that teachers can use micropolitics to resist reform that, in these cases, legitimated centralization and control, and to heighten their control of their workplace. (RLC)
