The Big Blur Executive Summary: An Argument for Erasing the Boundaries between High School, College, and Careers--and Creating One New System That Works for Everyone
Jobs for the Future
This report is the executive summary to a paper that argues for a radical restructuring of education for grades 11-14--by erasing the arbitrary dividing line between high school and college--to open opportunities for the learners the current systems leave behind. The authors make the case for an entirely new type of institution--neither high school nor college--designed specifically to better meet the needs of young people after 10th grade and help prepare them to succeed in the world of work. This executive summary provides an introduction to the full report, including the problem, the solution, and the urgency. The four key areas that need transformation are identified: (1) incentives (in accountability and finance); (2) alignment; (3) governance; and (4) staffing. [For the full report, see ED614768.]
