The new Illinois school recognition process: Its implications for the ISBE for responding to the technical assistance needs of local school districts: An embedded single case study of the pilot process

The mandate for school improvement has found its way into state educational policy as evidenced by the unanimous enactment of House Bill 885 (PA 87-559 P1, 1991) in Illinois in the 1991 legislative session. This bill provided the framework for dramatically changing the 50-year-old process presently used for regulating schools. It evolved from one which focused on inputs to one which would for the first time hold school districts accountable for student outcomes. The time line to begin implementation of the new process was the 1992-93 school year. This change in the way schools in Illinois is regulated will cause major shifts in priorities in schools and school districts. Anticipating that these changes would necessitate new skills on the part of educators, the general assembly mandated that technical assistance to schools and school districts be provided through the State Board of Education. Due to the short time line for implementation of the new process, development of an appropriate technical assistance system was critical.
