Abstract | This paper presents findings of a study that examined the change process involved when four elementary schools implemented the accelerated schools model. Specifically, the study focused on transitions in parental roles that occurred when the schools changed from a conventional mode of organization to a participatory mode. The case study data were obtained through document analysis and interviews conducted at each site with the principal, teachers, administrators, social workers, and parents. Findings indicate that the extent of change in the parents' roles varied substantially among the schools. Parental involvement increased when the principals used a less autocratic leadership style and when teachers encouraged parents and addressed their educational needs. Technical assistance by university faculty played a minor role in the transition process. Finally, creative communities of inquiry began to develop in three of the schools. One figure and one table are included. (LMI) |
