Abstract
Since 1983 and the publication of A Nation at Risk, school reform has occupied both national and state educational policy agendas. Initially reform efforts to improve schools were encouraged, and in some instances mandated, by state and federal policymakers (Lewis, 1989; Schlecty, 1990). Now, a decade later, Goals 2000 has been much heralded as the federal-level focus on school reform and improvement, while state legislatures and departments of education across the nation have issued their own statements about what schools should be doing to prepare students in their states for the 21st century. Schools at the local level have responded to these calls for reform with a flurry of restructuring activities. In essence, school reform and improvement efforts are going on everywhere throughout the nation.
