Work-Based Learning: Good News, Bad News and Hope |
| Summary: | The 1996 High Schools That Work Assessment report contains positive and negative findings, as well as reason for optimism, about the performance of high school students who have after-school jobs. The assessment of reading, mathematics and science performance was given to 12th-graders completing four courses in a vocational concentration at the Southern Regional Education Board’s High Schools That Work sites. Seventy-one percent of the students who took the assessment had part-time jobs; 44 percent of assessed students were earning school credit for their work experiences. | | URL: | http://www.sreb.org/programs/hstw/publications/briefs/97brief7.asp | | Grade Level: | High School | | Reform Elements: | Restructuring, School Models, Community Involvement |
