Hot off the press comes the guide to the next generation of education reform. Dan Hull and some of the nation's leading practitioners and educational leaders show how to remake high schools to improve academic outcomes, prepare students for today's high-skills workplace, and motivate them to learn because they see a pathway to their future. Building on what has been learned in Tech Prep and other reform initiatives, this book gives you the "who's," "why's," and "how's," of Career Pathways.
