The purpose of this study is to improve the embeddedness and sustainability of educational innovation. To do this, this study investigated the policy process of Gyeonggido Office of Education(GOE) by the criteria of democracy and learning and reflection. The characteristics of GOE policy process are identified through the interview with the personnels involved in the main policies of GOE. First, GOE was able to secure partial democracy by forming policies in a way that policy-led groups institutionalized the movement. However, in the process, some policies were carried out in such a way that the conviction of the policy leading group overwhelmed the consent or support of the field. Next, GOE s main policies were implemented without sufficient learning and reflection opportunities. Some policies have provided opportunities for learning and reflection depending on external circumstances such as ideological confrontations. However, policies without these confrontations were not only fragmented into projects but also didn’t have opportunities for learning and reflection. In this process, the school was recognized as the object of the project, and the objects of main policices come to be trivialized. Based on these findings, this study suggests that it is necessary to restructure the process of policy formation and enforcement focusing on the values of democracy, learning and reflection.
