| Abstract | Policy and program options for economic revitalization in the Southeast region of the United States through educational reform, with a focus on improving the learning experiences of middle-range high school students (30th to 70th percentile on standardized tests), are discussed. The study examined the ways in which state and local school districts are meeting students' needs: improving access to postsecondary education, especially minorities and first generation college students; increasing the probability of high school graduation; providing support and incentives; improving academic readiness; and including outside partners in the education process. Methodology involved a review of policy and research literature, analysis of political legislation and program documents, and telephone interviews with over 100 educational community members. A discussion of policy findings identifies three critical state policy roles for meeting middle-range student needs: school improvement, providing incentives, and promoting collaboration. A description of the following program initiatives are assessed according to their amenability to state policy and local implementation: alternative school programs; school-based and externally based support services; collaboratives; and indirect services, such as staff and curriculum development. Conclusions are made in three areas: redefinition of the target group, change in the state role toward an outcomes-based model, and the broadening participation of external organizations. Appendices include forms and instruments, summaries of additional program initiatives, and state summaries. (18 references) (LMI) |
