Abstract
This paper traces the evolution of the federal role in school unprovement, especially as it relates to stimulating the development and implementation of innovations intended to give teachers classroom-relevant improvements. A historical overview is followed by a review of selected research. The paper closes with an argument to strengthen the infrastructure that supports meaningful, but admittedly not revolutionary, change in typical schools.Keywords
