An examination of current studies and literature indicates that (1) there is a need for restructuring the American educational system to meet the needs of students entering the twenty-first century, (2) previous restructuring efforts have been unsuccessful in initiating change, (3) the Accelerated Schools Project offers a set of strategies and procedures to promote systemic change for schools which have embraced the project, and (4) teachers who work in environments that value and seek their professional opinions experience increased levels of job satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to determine if participation in the Accelerated Schools Project affects teacher job satisfaction. Procedures. This study examined the relationship between job satisfaction of teachers in Accelerated Schools and involvement in 14 decision-making areas identified from the literature. Level of involvement in each decision area, intrinsic job satisfaction, extrinsic job satisfaction, and overall job satisfaction were examined. The total level of involvement in the 14 decision areas was also compared with satisfaction with overall involvement and overall job satisfaction. Scrutiny was also given to the degree to which teacher empowerment affects job satisfaction. Teachers from the 14 Accelerated Schools in Missouri which have participated in the project since the 1993-94 school year completed questionnaires. The Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient and stepwise regression were used for data analyses. Results. Statistical significance was achieved between twelve of the fourteen areas in job involvement as measured by the Fleming Job Involvement Instrument and intrinsic job satisfaction. Five of the fourteen areas were significant as they related to extrinsic job satisfaction. Nine of the fourteen areas achieved significance with overall job satisfaction. A statistically significant relationship of.01 was found between satisfaction with involvement in decision-making and overall job satisfaction. Relationships were established between total involvement in decision-making and intrinsic, extrinsic, and overall job satisfaction. Empowerment as measured by the School Participant Empowerment Scale was statistically significant for intrinsic, extrinsic, and overall job satisfaction. The most powerful variable for predicting intrinsic, extrinsic, and overall job satisfaction was developing and participating in professional growth activities.

Book excerpt: Designed as a guide for practitioners, this book draws on over 600 sources to discuss school restructuring definitions, trends, and issues; achievements of a few select schools; and implementation techniques and strategies. Two overarching, indirectly stated issues pervading the reconceptualization of schooling are multiculturalism and a caring school staff. The book is organized into four parts. Part 1, Rationale and Context, presents a historical context for restructuring and a summary of the current motivations for, and implications of, educational restructuring. Part 2, Changing Roles and Responsibilities, examines the evolution of new roles for essentially all the groups that participate in public education. Part 3, Dimensions of Restructuring, explores the concepts of incremental and discontinuous change and extensively discusses current school restructuring activities along 12 dimensions: learner outcomes, curriculum, instruction, assessment, learning environment, technology, school-community relations, time schedules, governance, teacher leadership, personnel definitions and roles, and working relationships. Part 4, Process of Restructuring, captures the lessons being learned about the restructuring process and presents examples of strategies and techniques. (Contains over 600 references.) (MLH)
