HELPING LOCAL COMMUNITIES IMPROVE HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION

Across the United States, young people and adults are organizing to create public schools that work for all students. “High School Issue Papers” are a set of new publications designed to help parents, young people, teachers and community leaders in their efforts to transform high school education. The papers profile success stories, present key national statistics summarize education research and offer strategy ideas and resources for further research. Topic covered include: Curriculum, Instruction, Standards, Assessment and Accountability, Professional Development and Teacher Quality, Whole School Change Models, Small Schools, School Climate, Discipline and Safety and Technology and School Libraries.

Research for Democracy, a joint project of the Temple University Center for Public Policy and the Eastern Pennsylvania Organizing Project produced these issue papers in collaboration with Youth United for Change and with funding from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
