Abstract	An introduction to a symposium on the development of adolescent schooling is followed by one of several presentations concerning current thinking about the problems involved in developing experimenting schools. The paper elaborates the basic propositions about modernization, the process of school reform seen as a process of social learning, and the methods of evolutionary experimentation. It is proposed that the school as a whole, conceived as a developing social organism, be taken as an experimental proposition to be shaped and reformed through methods of evolutionary experimentation. The goal of this experimentation, and the criterion for it, is to discover and to operate schools which can facilitate learning by adolescents who are in charge of their own learning processes and cope successfully with the problems and opportunities they confront. It is felt that modernization permits, as well as demands, that attemps be undertaken to learn what schools might become. In conclusion, it is noted that to discover how to make schooling facilitative and supportive of the development of the young, it is essential to consider school as an experimental proposition.
