Abstract

Sets out to understand how schools participating in a project to create empowered schools defined empowerment, how they structured the change process and how the school culture changed as a result of the effort to empower participants. Results of the change effort indicate that the participating schools could be grouped into three categories regarding their success in substantially changing the school culture in support of the empowerment concept, creating structures that build participant empowerment and in principal actions that facilitate the development of empowered participants. The three types of school were the opportunity school, the shifter school and the no‐go school. From these types of school, presents five themes for understanding school change.
