Acker-Hocevar, Michele; Touchton, Debra

International Journal of Educational Reform, v11 n3 p268-78 Sum 2002

The second in three-part series on how the principals in 10 low-performing/high-poverty schools met the challenge of Florida's 1999 high-stakes testing and accountability initiative. Examines the challenges principals faced in trying to build organizational capacity from three perspectives: principals' beliefs and values, "it takes a whole school" concept, and changing instructional practices.
