Urban Teacher Commitment
This study explores relationships between teachers' organizational commitment and interpersonal conflict, participation activities beyond the classroom, and innovation in schools. Potential relationships among study variables are suggested in research that views affective commitment as a proxy measure for decisions to leave the school. Increments in experience in the profession are negatively associated with organizational commitment. Higher leve…
Organizational Commitment of Teachers in Urban Schools
This study examines the effects of four team-based structures on the organizational commitment of elementary teachers in an urban school district. The study model focuses on organizational commitment and includes three intervening, endogenous variables: teacher empowerment, school communication, and work autonomy. Team teaching had both direct and indirect effects on commitment to the school. Curriculum teamwork, governance teamwork, and communit…
Assessing Dispositions Toward Cultural Diversity among Preservice Teachers
Teacher education interventions designed to help individuals acquire understandings and skills needed to work effectively with culturally diverse student populations may not have significant impact unless teachers as learners are willing to explore beyond the familiar comfort zone of the majority cultural status quo. The purpose of this study was to assess preservice teachers’ attitudes toward cultural diversity prior to their entry into multicul…
Assuring Failure
A viable policy design, considered in policy implementation, should integrate understandings of the increasing autonomy of the public-policy environment, especially where policies are nested within a policy sector. Environmental factors are accentuated in policies employing a strong statute implementation design with little latitude for adaptation and negotiation. A case study of one aspect of the Guaranteed Student Loan Program illustrates the a…

Agencies and practitioners responsible for the implementation of social policy are bound by complex legal requirements and restraints. To facilitate fit between the intent of statutes and the operation of programs, practitioners should acquire a basic understanding of the legal principles that guide administrative processes in public policy implementation, especially those related to human services organizations. In the present article, the autho…
Conflict in Human Services Organizations
[The authors examine dimensions of conflict in the context of complex organixa tions in general and human services organizations in particular. The implications of theory and related research on conflict for the human services are discussed and some potentialities of controlled conflict as an organizational utility are suggested]
Looking back at the future
The concept of planning in education is as old as the idea that education should be organized formally. Examinations of Xenephon's description of the role of education in Sparta appeared in the Lacedaemonian Constitution some 2500 years ago. Plato's prescription in the Republic and the writings of Knox and Rosseau provide longitudinal evidence of an awareness of the need for systematic evaluation and planning in education. In countries where educ…
