ABSTRACT
Enrolling in the wake of an administrative and educational reform, the implementation of a new "results-based" management is shaking the schools' traditional values and practices, so the culture that characterizes them. In light of the results of three descriptive studies conducted with different groups of stakeholders concerned by this change, this text examines some of the main facilitators and barriers associated with schools' readiness to implement new regulation and evaluation practices. It also shed some light on competencies needed by school principals and their assistants to manage such a cultural change.
