Abstract
Successful development of school-based shared decision-making (SBSDM) necessitates significant shifts in policies, practices, and procedures. Listing those changes creates a potential misunderstanding-a belief that if each item on the check list is "done," successful SBSDM will be a reality. Experience with SBSDM suggests that the movement to SBSDM has nothing to do with a step by step check list and everything to do with the beliefs and attitudes that are integral to making an effective SBSDM process and team. As in the pedagogy of whole language and cooperative learning, the success of the SBSDM practice depends strongly on the prerequisite paradigm shifting. Knowledge, beliefs, needs and skills must foster and sustain the paradigm shift from the "old" bureaucratic management to the "new" SBSDM leadership. Lacking any one of those basics, SBSDM will most likely falter.
