ABSTRACT
… this innovation, like any other, got off the ground because an individual was committed to it, found ways to make it possible without provoking opposition, and demonstrated outcomes which were sufficiently convincing to forestall any attempts to interfere with the consolidation of the development. If you can't manage to satisfy these tactical requirements, I am afraid it doesn't matter how educationally creative you are as an innovator, you are unlikely to be permitted to survive. (Cowan, 1988:210)
