Abstract

schools. While teacher participation has existed in some school districts for decades (Clune & White, 1988), its practice has accelerated rapidly over the past 10 years. Murphy and Beck (1995) estimated that by 1989 at least 14 states had developed school-based participative projects. By the early 1990s, thousands of districts across the country were experimenting with some form of participative decision making (Hill & Bonan, 1991). These forms range from school-based and district-level decision making bodies to teacher advisory groups to new decision making roles for individual teachers associated with career-ladder, lead-teacher, and master-teacher

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
