Full Description
How can we personalize the high school experience in order to improve the learning of all students? Grounded in the six Call to Action principles for guiding high school reform (developed with the National Association for Secondary School Principals), this book takes an in-depth look at how diverse schools have redesigned programs to create more effective learning experiences for students, the challenges faced, and lessons learned. Featuring examples from nine different models, it offers recommendations for educators and parents on how to make these ideas work in any high school.
