Abstract	This study describes professional and curricular innovations in a traditional high school English department within one academic year, resulting from a self-evaluation prepared for the regional accrediting association. The study provides an overview of the school's community, a description of the faculty and student body, and a portrait of the English department, followed by the department's own analysis of its strengths and weaknesses. The author suggests two essential considerations for any department desiring change: (1) the personnel involved must have current, theoretical knowledge upon which to base their innovations, and (2) the personnel need flexible programs so they will have time to correct existing problems. The author concludes that self-evaluation for the regional accrediting association provides the ideal climate for effecting needed change in a department. (Author/DI)
