Strategic Resource Allocation: Adaptation, Capacity, and Constraint

这项提议的研究计划分析学校和学区适应改革压力和机遇的程度和方式。研究小组关注教育系统中不同层次、不同背景条件和不同细节层次的资源分配模式。这项研究首先考察了全国的情况，然后把重点放在德克萨斯州和加利福尼亚州。本提案涉及的两个研究问题是：1。学校/学区是否因应1990年代的改革要求而重新配置资源？以什么方式？到什么程度？特别有效的学校的资源分配策略是什么？

This proposed study plans to analyze the extent to which, and the ways in which, schools and school districts have adapted to reform pressure and opportunities. The research team focuses on resource allocation patterns at different levels in the education system, different context conditions, and different levels of detail. The study initially examines the national picture and then focuses on Texas and California. The two research questions addressed in this proposal are:1. Have schools/school districts repositioned their resources in response to the reform demands of the 1990s? In what ways? To what extent?2. What are the resource allocation strategies of unusually effective schools?
