College and Career Ready in the 21st Century: Making High School Matter

James R. Stone III,Morgan V. Lewis

More than half of 9th graders in the United States will never complete a college degree. High schools must do more than prepare some students for college: They must prepare all American youth for productive lives as well as continued learning beyond high school. In this timely volume, two educational leaders advocate for a more meaningful high school experience. To accomplish this, the authors argue that we need to change the focus of our current high school reform efforts from “college for all” to “careers for all.” This work shows how schools can prepare young people both for the emerging workplace and post secondary education.
