Abstract
School-based decision-making is the vehicle to move from "education by intimidation" to "education by ownership." The key to improving student performance is teacher ownership of the school program and students and students' ownership of their individual educational program. Our educational system has traditionally reinforced success with good grades and punished the unsuccessful with failures. Although attaining good grades has been a motivational tool for many students, the intimation of failure seems to be an increasingly negative motivator. Glickman (1993) used information from Rutters to make the point the least successful schools are the most punitive.
