Biographical note
Carol A. Barnes is an assistant research scientist and an associate director for the Study of Instructional Improvement at the School of Education, University of Michigan.The best case study I have seen to date on school responses to comprehensive reform. An elegantly written, compelling analysis. - Gary Sykes, College of Education, Michigan State University
This extraordinary view of ""reform in action"" illustrates what actually happens when school reform encounters a high-poverty, linguistically diverse school, that is, when policy ambitions collide with school realities. Based on two years of observation and interviews, the author shows how professional identities, social resources, and conflicting purposes shaped one elementary school's capacity to understand and implement statemandated reforms. This book sheds much-needed light on the implementation of one of the most ambitious education reform attempts in recent history, the standards reforms in California.
