Summary:
Double the Numbers highlights emerging strategies—at state, district, and
school levels—for improving postsecondary outcomes. High schools pose
special challenges in this regard: how to motivate older adolescents in
school settings; how to overcome the rigidities of high school
schedules and routines; how to prepare students for smooth transitions
to postsecondary learning and success. This book explores policies that
are likely to serve as building blocks in education
reform that tackles the dual problems of high school completion and
postsecondary access and success. The many contributions from leading
education experts, including Kati Haycock, Robert Schwartz, and Marc
Tucker, address these issues from a number of distinct perspectives and
provide useful insight for policymakers, administrators, and teachers
as they envision and frame strategies for this next great school reform
effort. To order, contact the publisher, Harvard Education Press, at
