Quatrième de couverture :

Public schools and higher education institutions have tended to function as though they had little in common. In the policy arena, especially, they have often pursued separate agendas. This is the first volume to fully explore ways that public schools and higher education institutions might form more sustainable ties?in teacher education, in research, policy, and program development, and in assuring access to higher education.

Higher Education and School Reform provides a comprehensive review of the critical relationship between higher education institutions and K–12 schools?including an examination of higher education?s vital role in implementing systemic school reform. The contributors define how schools and higher education relate to and depend on each other. They provide historical background and contemporary perspectives on the nature of the relationship between higher education and schools, an analysis of roadblocks to productive interaction, and new models for coordinated education policy.

This book analyzes the 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.
Higher Education and School Reform helps define what schools and higher education need from each other and explores new models for a more productive working relationship. Administrators, researchers, and policymakers will find it an essential addition to their school reform libraries.
