Beyond Tracking: Multiple Pathways to College, Career, and Civic Participation Paperback - 2008
by Jeannie Oakes; Editor; Marisa Saunders
From the rear cover
In Beyond Tracking, Jeannie Oakes and Marisa Saunders offer a sobering assessment of American high schools: "Evidence abounds that high schools simply don't work very well: witness strikingly high dropout rates, large percentages of graduates unprepared to succeed in college or career, education gaps that jeopardize African American and Latino students' life chances, and widespread student disengagement."
Beyond Tracking responds to this dilemma by presenting an innovative notion of multiple pathways that will "provide both the academic and real-world foundations that students need for advanced learning, training, and preparation for responsible civic participation." All multiple pathways schools will have a college-preparatory core; a professional/technical core; field-based learning and realistic workplace simulations; and support services to meet the particular needs of students and communities. Such schools will aim for all students to "succeed in both college and career, not one of the other." In its detailed consideration of multiple pathways, Beyond Tracking makes a crucial contribution to current discussions about high school reform and the educational challenges of the 21st century. "Beyond Tracking is a must-read for school leaders and policymakers. The ideas in this book point towards an educational system that provides enriched learning experiences for all students, so that they will be able to succeed in further studies and in the workplace, and so that they can make notable contributions to the common good." -- Gene Bottoms, Senior Vice President, Southern Regional Education Board "Beyond Tracking offers a compelling view of multiple pathways and how they might transform American high schools. In its insistence that fundamental reforms are needed--and in its detailed consideration of how reformed high schools would better prepare students for both college and work--this book is an indispensable contribution to efforts to reimagine, and improve, high school education in America." -- Ramon C. Cortines, Senior Deputy Superintendent, Los Angeles Unified School District "Beyond Tracking is a call to arms. Especially notable is that it presents citizenship as a core element of student learning. This link between learning and citizenship has been undervalued in our current quest to reform American public schools." -- Wendy D. Puriefoy, President, Public Education Network Jeannie Oakes is director of Education and Scholarship at the Ford Foundation. Until fall 2008, she was Presidential Professor in Educational Equity at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is the author of Keeping Track: How Schools Structure Inequality and many other books. Marisa Saunders is senior research associate at the Institute for Democracy, Education, and Access at the University of California, Los Angeles.Details
