The work of this study has produced a thorough review of the literature that involves the concepts of shared governance and shared power in the public schools. The implications of humanizing and democratizing the administration and the environment of the public schools were extensively reviewed. Antecedents and precedents for current practices were sought in industry and business, the social sciences, the management of junior colleges and colleges, and at other levels of public education. It became clear that there were many sources of logical precedents and antecedents to be applied to models for a public secondary school. These antecedents and precedents were applied to a description and exposition of an operational model of shared governance at Staples High School in Westport, Connecticut.

A praxis for developing a model of shared governance in the secondary school

The Federally-sponsored research and development project centered on the current s+ate of participatpry management programs in correctional institutions. Questionnaires were mailed to all adult institutions known to have some form of council or committee structure. on -site visits conducted at several institutions included: large and small; male, female, and coed; those having councils and'those having committees; and those representing various geographical regions of the United States. Interviews were held with 'administrators, staff, and inmates where possible. Council members were interviewed and, when allowed, council, meetings were observed. There is confusion and misconception aboutParticipatory management and no differentiation in the literature based upon typological categories. The prevailing assumption in penological circles that \"inmate government\" is a corrupting, dysfunctional modality for prison \\management is based almost entirely upon examples which are not participatory management as discussed in this project. Inmate councils have come into existence mainly in response to a crisis rather than as a treatment program of self-responsibility. Although there is some evidence to indicate' measurable, positive effects of shared decision-making, there is no evidence of research or evaluation to assess the effects of participatory management on either the institutions or the participants. Tables and questionnaires are appended. (Author/EA) r....=mm....., . , 6 APR I SHARED DECISION-MAKING AS A TREATMENT TECHNIQUE I IN PRISON MANAGEMENT THE MURTON FOUNDATION FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE, INC.

Shared Decision Making as a Treatment Technique in Prison Management

STUDENT GOVERNMENT PRESIDENTS PERCEPTIONS OF THEIR ROLE IN INSTITUTIONAL DECISION-MAKING AT A TWO-YEAR PUBLIC COLLEGE by Michael L. Sanseviro This qualitative study investigated the roles students play in institutional decisionmaking, and in particular how the students perceive both what their roles should be and what their roles actually are. Five Student Government Association (SGA) presidents, serving sequential one-year terms from 1999 to 2004 at one campus of a multi-campus two-year public college located in a large metropolitan area in the southeast, were interviewed. The qualitative research methodology employed thematic analysis to describe the students' perceptions in the context of both the letter and spirit of policy implementation regarding institutional decision-making. Through analysis of interviews, institutional documents, and documents at the statewide system level, this investigation explored a wide array of variables that affect the roles students play in institutional
