Praise for From High School to College
"From High School to College reports on research findings that
are changing the national policy conversation about higher
education accessibility and quality. Michael Kirst, Andrea Venezia
and their colleagues examine the disjunctures between schools and
colleges and the corrosive consequences for student learning and
educational attainment. This study offers a critical examination of
current policies and practices and a challenging but achievable
agenda for change."
-Patrick Callan, President, National Center for Public Policy and
Higher Education
"This book offers valuable insights for those contemplating or
engaged in K--16 reform. The strategies for aligning higher
education and secondary schools have proven successful in bringing
about positive outcomes in the six project states. The compendium
of research findings from multiple projects provides relevant and
proven data that will assist others in designing and implementing
successful K--16 reforms."
-Gerald N. Tirozzi, executive director, National Association of
Secondary School Principals
"Using six years of national research and a focus on the
colleges that serve 800f all undergraduates, this talented group of
scholars informs and propels us to take action on the policies,
perceptions, and practices of college admissions, college course
placement, and state-level policies. This book is required reading
for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars concerned with
improving college access, college retention, and educational
efficacy."
-Patricia M. McDonough, associate professor, Higher Education
& Organizational Change, Graduate School of Education &
Information Studies, University of California at Los Angeles
"This impressively researched and readable volume is a
singularly important and timely contribution to understanding the
growing significance of efforts to bridge the chasm that exists
between K--12 and postsecondary education. It is a must read for
all concerned with the development of more coherent and effective
educational policy."

Leadership
