The push for higher academic standards has resulted in an increase
in the numbers of high school students needing extra help. The need
for extra help is most pervasive in high-poverty areas and most
high school students need extra help not in traditional basic
elementary skills but in reading, mathematics, and advanced
reasoning skills. Most students requiring extra help in reading
need support and direction to make the transition from a being
beginning readers to becoming expert readers. In mathematics, most
help is needed in operating with rational numbers and integers, the
transition from arithmetic to mathematics, and mathematical
reasoning. The issue of extra help for high school students must be
reconceptualized. Although research has identified a core of
elements that are critical to reading instruction for adolescents
lacking strong comprehension strategies, mathematics has no
long-standing body of research on the challenges and needs of
students entering high school. The following are among actions for
policymakers: (1) find time to address students' substantial extra
help needs during the school day; (2) when attempting to address
students' need for extra help, avoid triggering the reemergence of
dead-end tracks and remediation; and (3) recognize and confront the
importance of teacher quality. (Contains 74 references.).
