Inside High School Reform: Making the Changes That Matter
What happens when some of the lowest-performing high schools make a commitment to reform themselves? Inside High School Reform: Making the Changes That Matter, a new book from WestEd, looks at the reform efforts of 28 California high schools where educators collaborated to fundamentally change expectations for students — in effect, to prepare all students for postsecondary education. Staff challenged the status quo and strengthened their delivery of services so all students, especially those traditionally denied access to college, would have more options for college and life. In this interactive presentation, the book’s author, Jordan Horowitz, Senior Project Director in WestEd's Evaluation Research Program, will present applicable findings for teachers, administrators, and policy makers. Horowitz also will disseminat the “top ten tips” derived from the book.
