Abstract
Where does "shared decision-making" come from? We have to go back and look at the total school reform movement, since shared decision-making is just one component of the total school restructuring movement. Two sets of school reform movements currently operate in the United States and they are not joined. One, of which America 2000 is the most visible element, is tied rhetorically to the national interest, international economic competitiveness, and corporate health. It is politically driven. The playing fields are federal executive and legislative halls of government, state capitols, and mayoral offices. Professional associations, the National School Boards Association, and the National Congress of Parents and Teachers strive to keep the constituencies informed. Occasionally, the major players in this movement nod in the direction of children, parents, and teachers.
