| Abstract | The Chicago public school system has a 50 percent dropout rate, low-achieving students, a nonresponsive bureaucracy, and many related urban school problems. The Chicago School Reform Act, PA 85-1418, was enacted by the Illinois legislature in 1989 to address the situation. To determine the effectiveness of the Chicago school reform movement thus far, 100 Chicago teachers in 10 schools were surveyed. The responses indicate that no gains have been made in student achievement, school discipline, teacher morale, collegiality, school climate, teacher involvement in decision making, or job satisfaction. Most teachers agree that smaller class size, more security, reduced paperwork, more instructional materials, and higher teacher salaries would improve student achievement and working conditions. Teachers are not optimistic about the Local School Councils (each composed of six parents, two community representatives, and one principal) created to decentralize school administration. The results of the survey are presented in tables. A bibliography of 11 items follows. (DM) |
