Change Agents

• Graduates of professional development school programs: Perceptions of the teacher as change agent
  Investigated whether graduates of Professional Development Schools perceived themselves as change agents, implemented practices supporting change, and chose schools supportive of change. Teacher surveys indicated that most respondents believed they were change agents, that they were viewed as change agents, and that they practiced behaviors indicative of change.
• Multicultural Educators as Change Agents
  Describes the deep self-reflection, characteristics attitudes, and critical skills that will help educators act as change agents to create truly multicultural environments in their schools. Lists the 12 guidelines for challenging racism and other forms of oppression.
• Uncertainty and decision making in teaching: Implications for managing line professionals
  Most of this book's 22 chapters were written as background papers that were presented at a national conference on restructuring schooling held at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, August 18-21, 1987. Framing the chapters of this book is the notion that if rational management systems and theoretical treatises about promoting school excellence do not take into account the realities of the workplace; they will not bring about sustained improvements in our nation's schools.
