Perspectives on Policy and Practice: Student-Centered High Schools

More and more educators believe that high schools must be reexamined and reshaped to actively engage students in learning experiences that better prepare them for the complexity of adult life. Drawing upon current research, the Alliance explores the strategy of tailoring educational practices in high school to the learning needs of adolescents. This issue of Perspectives examines key issues and questions in changing high school practices to improve each student's learning experience. What are the learning needs of adolescents? What kinds of school practices and curriculum engage students in learning that meets both individual needs and common standards? What challenges do the schools face in establishing a student-centered learning environment? For educators, policy makers, and practitioners eager to move in this direction, this paper provides valuable strategies and resources.
