ABSTRACT
A new set of problems arrived once the project team started to produce public documents and became a centre of attention. The project team has to stand the strain of seeing its ideas used in ways that it may not approve, and finally often criticized and rejected by the teachers. The coordinators would link the project headquarters to the trial schools. The members of the project team were in demand as visiting speakers for conferences, colleges of education and departments of education. The lack of any established career path within curriculum development was a source of anxiety for the project team, increasing as the end approached, as the amount of work increased and as future jobs became a common concern. The clue to successful innovation may lie not so much in in-service training, but in the secondment of teachers to research and curriculum development teams.
