Twenty New American Schools Development Corporation principals offer recommendations for simultaneously reforming schools and conforming to jurisdiction accountability systems. They talk about system elements that aid or impede innovative practice in whole-school reform, including the impact of traditional and performance-based tests on classroom practice, on school-based assessment, and on design implementation. To the extent possible, findings are presented in the principals' own words. This is a companion report to MR-729-NASDC (S. J. Bodilly et al., Lessons from New American Schools Development Corporation's Demonstration Phase, 1996).
