Education Week, v32 n34 Jun 2013
The 2013 edition of "Diplomas Count," entitled "Second Chances: Turning Dropouts into Graduates," examines dropout recovery and innovative strategies for returning to the educational fold the 1 million students who leave school without a diploma each year. "Education Week's" journalists investigate interventions that provide second chances to those youths--a group whose prospects for landing a stable job or a postsecondary credential may depend on finishing high school.
