- Summary:
-
This guide is the first in a series of guidelines designed to be a framework for positive action at the school site and in the classroom through the High Schools That Work program, an effort to raise the achievement of career-bound students. It focuses on the first step for superintendents, principals, and vocational leaders: to introduce the whole faculty to a vision of the things the school can do to raise the achievement of career-bound students. This framework involves the following actions: developing an upgraded academic core and a major for all students; having high expectations for all students; providing high quality vocational studies; providing high-level academic studies; creating interdisciplinary teams of teachers; providing ongoing guidance; giving extra help and time; engaging students as active learners; and keeping score to improve practice. These steps are discussed: adopting outcome goals; demonstrating the need for change, including looking at other schools and confronting barriers to change; enlisting parent support; providing staff development and support; accepting change one step at a time; developing an action plan; adopting a problem-solving strategy; rethinking all routines; and affirming district and state support.
