Establishing the Unitary Classroom: Organizational Change and School Culture.

Eddy, Elizabeth M.; True, Joan H.

Journal of Thought, v15 n3 p81-104 Fall 1980

This paper examines the organizational changes introduced in two elementary schools to create unitary (desegregated) classrooms. The different models adopted by the two schools--departmentalization and team teaching--are considered as expressions of their patterns of interaction, behavior, and values. (Part of a theme issue on educational anthropology.) (Author/SJL)
