Summarizes
findings of a five-year study of eight schools participating in
the Coalition of Essential Schools/Education of the States Re:Learning
project. Most schools appeared to lack consensus about the need
for fundamental changes in school structure or teaching practices;
changes began slowly, with individual or small-group efforts that
frequently divided faculty. (MLH)
