The Attrition of Change: A Study of Change and Continuity.

Fink, Dean

School Effectiveness and School Improvement, v10 n3 p269-95 Sep 1999

Presents a historical case study of a once-innovative Canadian high school that, 25 years later, has "evolved" into a conventional secondary school. There is a predictable historical pattern that this and other innovative schools generally follow. Early indications of attrition may prevent further erosion of a school's vision.
