High Schools that Work.

Bottoms, Gene; Mikos, Pat

Executive Educator, v17 n10 p37-38 Oct 1995

The Southern Regional Education Board's High Schools That Work program has successfully raised academic standards for non-college-bound students (the majority of students). Over 400 schools in 19 states now participate. The best HSTW schools feature higher expectations, tougher academic and vocational curricula, heftier homework assignments, and work-related problem-solving opportunities. (MLH)
