Networks for Changes: Supporting Secondary Administrators and Teachers in Interpreting, Integrating and Implementing Secondary School Reform Ontario Ministry of Education Transfer Grant/Peel Partnership Funding Body: OISE/UT Ontario Ministry of Education Transfer Grant/Peel Partnership ($120,564) Dates: 1999-2002 Principal Investigator: Andy Hargreaves with Paul Shaw RO/GA: Shawn Moore, Dean Fink Description: Conducted in partnership with the Peel Board of Education, this project represents the culmination of a five year program of research and development in school improvement that the project team has undertaken collaboratively with six varied secondary schools in one of Canada’s largest school districts. This final phase of the project concentrated on working with the schools to develop and implement a survey to all staff in order to determine the impact of Ontario Secondary School Reform policies in the schools. It also facilitated networks of dialogue, learning and support among the schools’ senior administrators, as they sought to respond to reform mandates in ways that maintained improvement in their own schools. the results of this report are contained in Andy Hargreaves, Teaching In The Knowledge Society.
