Higher education and school reform

About this book

Higher Education and School Reform helps define what schools and higher education need from each other and explores new models for coordinated education policy. It analyzes key aspects of higher education/school interactions - teacher education, partnerships for learning, college preparatory curricula, admissions practices, and faculty research endeavors - to uncover the factors that stand in the way of more effective collaboration. Examining the critical relationship between higher education institutions and K-12 schools - especially higher education's role in implementing systemic school reform - the contributors explore new models for a more productive working relationship.
