Power to the Pupil: An Annotated Bibliography of Student Involvement, Student Power, and Student Participation in Decision-Making in Public Secondary Schools. An Occasional Paper.

The evidence in the literature is that both students' efforts and administrators' responses have fallen far short of what it takes to change a system substantially. The categories of literature covered in this bibliography include student and educator perceptions of conditions in schools that generate conflict and impetus for change; empirical studies of students' powerlessness and surveys of the actual and desired extent of student participation in school decisions; case studies of individual schools in which students' actions brought about changes; and prescriptions and strategies for involving students in the shaping of education.
