What Do Research Findings Say About Getting Innovations Into Schools: A Symposium (October 8-9, 1973). Publication No. OP-305

The seven papers and four discussions in this publication present several perspectives on educational innovation and its adoption in the schools. Topics discussed include political and structural protection of innovations, change introduced from outside the school, ESEA Title III influences on change processes, local school district change strategy, and research. Generally, the authors agree that change is more effective when it is implemented from within the school, that research and development people should disseminate findings more effectively, and that too few data-based studies about effecting change reach school people.
