ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC
School-based management is one of several reforms proposed and instituted over the
past decade to improve public education. Its "ultimate goal," as White (1989) points out,
"is to improve the teaching and learning environment for students." This ERIC Digest
will address how school-based management has affected student performance. Since
research on this topic is extremely limited, this Digest's conclusions are necessarily
tentative.
