High
Schools on the Move: Renewing Vermont's Commitment to Quality Secondary Education
Truancy and
dropout prevention strategies are parallel with the principles of high school reform.
The 12 principles articulated in this publication provide a powerful framework that,
if implemented, would result in more students achieving academic success and graduating
from high school. This document presents a vision for high school renewal and innovation
in the state. It serves as a call to action and a toolkit to help educators and communities
chart their own courses for secondary school change. |
