Subclaims¶

q2 i? About 40 percent of principals reported network participation provided few if any useful resources to their schools. → Initial Accomplishments of Implementation Networks: A Baseline Technical Report of the Chicago Annenberg Research Project 1998 q2 i? About three-quarters of principals indicated Annenberg was only one of many programs, creating potential fragmentation and competition for teacher time. → Initial Accomplishments of Implementation Networks: A Baseline Technical Report of the Chicago Annenberg Research Project 1998 (2)

q2 · i? · associational · r?

Principal survey measure of access to resources for school improvement. The report found "about 40 percent report that participation has provided few if any useful resources to their schools," while most reported moderate or high access to network-provided resources and partner in-kind services.

"While a majority of principals report that participation in implementation networks has provided useful resources for school improvement, about 40 percent report that participation has provided few if any useful resources to their schools."

q2 · i? · associational · r?

Principal survey item on the place of Annenberg among school programs. "Approximately three-quarters of principals indicated that Annenberg is only one of many other programs they have at their schools," a condition the authors say creates potential for fragmentation and competition for teachers' time and attention.

"Approximately three-quarters of principals indicated that Annenberg is only one of many other programs they have at their schools (see Table 13)."
