The problem investigated in this study was: what is the effect of involving the community in the education of African-American students who live in an at-risk environment? The Accelerated Schools Model was studied to ascertain if it provided a vehicle for greater community involvement. When all stakeholders work with a unity of purpose, empowered parents, staff, students, and members of the community can make decisions that effect curriculum and instruction. Building on the strengths of students, and all other stakeholders would cause students to improve academically as measured by the CAT/MMAT Tests. Ethnographic methods were used in this case study. Data collection began in August 1988 and participant-observer were means of collecting data. The process of triangulation was used to support, refine or disconfirm patterns and themes as they developed. The study demonstrated that Pershing Accelerated School has transformed itself according to the Accelerated Schools Model and is effective in involving the community in the education of African-American students who live in an at-risk environment. The most rewarding accomplishment of the school and community was the naming of Pershing as a Gold Star and Blue Ribbon School during the 1993-94 school year. The Gold Star Award is given to Missouri Schools, by Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, for outstanding academic excellence and the Blue Ribbon Award recognizes some of the nation's most successful schools. The Accelerated Schools Model provided the process for bringing the community, staff, and parents together to improve the academic achievement of the students. It is imperative that we teach all children to dream and to do for children living in at-risk environments what we do for children we perceive as gifted.

The International Handbook of Educational Change is a state of the art collection of the most important ideas and evidence of educational change. The book brings together some of the most influential thinkers and writers on educational change. It deals with issues like educational innovation, reform, restructuring, culture-building, inspection, school-review, and change management. It asks why some people resist change and what their resistance means. It looks at how men and women, older teachers and younger teachers, experience change differently. It looks at the positive aspects of change but does not hesitate to raise uncomfortable questions about many aspects of educational change either. It looks critically and controversially at the social, economic, cultural and political forces that are driving educational change. School leaders, system administration, teacher leaders, consultants, facilitators, educational researchers, staff developers and change agents of all kinds will find this book an indispensable resource for guiding them to both classic and cutting-edge understandings of educational change, no other work provides as comprehensive coverage of the field of educational change.

Mission Statement: The current education policy emphasis on higher performance standards, school-level accountability, and market-based reform presents important research challenges within the field of school finance. The simultaneous pursuit of both equity and efficiency within this policy context creates an unprecedented demand for rigorous, timely, and field-relevant research on fiscal practices in schools. This book series is intended to help meet this demand. Specifically, the series provides a scholarly forum for interdisciplinary research on the financing of public, private, and higher education in the United States and abroad. The series is committed to disseminating high quality empirical studies, policy analyses, theoretical models, and literature reviews on contemporary issues in fiscal policy and practice. Each themed volume is intended for a diversity of readers, including academic researchers, policy makers, and school practitioners.
