Editor's Notes
1) 68% Source: ‘One-Third of a Nation’ (ETS 2005) 2) Source: The silent epidemic: Perspectives of high school dropouts – Civic Enterprises, 2006 Boring classes Too many absences Peer group too much personal freedom Failing in school
Of the students going to the 4-year university and those who take the 2-year community college then university route and matriculate, only about 50 percent actually graduate in SIX years.
10 year longitudinal study.- young men who participated in a career academy were earning more after 10 years and, in particular, young black men. 2006 – further research – career academies, First Things First, and Talent Development were making a difference but only when applied in their entirety. You can’t leave out any of the pieces. Two pillars – structural change (teaming/close proximity) and instructional change (integration)
