| Abstract | The National Science Foundation is sponsoring twenty-six Statewide Systemic Initiative Projects. A plan for evaluating and assessing systemic change has been designed and implemented at one of them. The perspective used to guide this paper is based on the principles which constitute the vision for this particular project. The relationship between the students' socio-economic background and (1) their scores on pre and post tests of attitudes, Science, and Mathematics; (2) final course grades was investigated as well as the relationship between their final course grades and scores on the post tests. The degree of teacher empowerment of participating teachers was examined. A strong relationship was found between final course grades and post-test scores. No relationship was found between the students' socio-economic background and the remaining variables. A high level of teacher empowerment was also found. Clear evidence was found that the implementation of a new curriculum can drive systemic reform. |
