High school reform focuses on new designs, funding by foundations,
new schools (in contrast to changing existing schools) and the voice of students (gasp) about their schools. The Annenberg Institute for School Reform gives this topic attention in the latest issue of Voices in Urban Education (VUE) with such articles as:
*Redesigning High School: Whole Systems That Work for All Students
*Portfolios of Schools: An Idea Whose Time Has Come
*Students as Co-constructors of the Learning Experience and Environment: Youth Engagement and High School Reform
*Reinventing High School Accountability: Authenticity, Pressure, and Support
The Annenberg Institute also has a great resource in Tools for School Improvement Planning.
