Sebring, P. B., Bryk, A. S., Easton, J. Q., Luppescu, S., Thum, Y. M., Lopez, W. A., & Smith, B. (1995). Charting Reform: Chicago Teachers Take Stock. Consortium on Chicago School Research. https://consortium.uchicago.edu/publications/charting-reform-chicago-teachers-take-stock
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Teachers rated the impact of 12 individuals and organizations on local school improvement. About half said these three external entities have no impact; the authors note a significant gap between these offices' stated intentions and teachers' experiences.
"In contrast to the relatively high positive ratings for outside agencies and projects are the much more negative marks given to state policy (only 32 percent positive), the subdistricts (30 percent positive), and the central office (27 percent positive)."
