Abstract	A 3-day summit of researchers, policymakers, administrators, practitioners, and other concerned individuals examined the organizational, instructional, and political problems in implementing integration and tech prep (I/TP) programs. The following propositions emerged from the discussions: (1) I/TP face numerous structural and professional obstacles; (2) historic division of high schools into classes for college- and noncollege-bound students impedes the promise of I/TP to end tracking; (3) full partnership of business/industry in workplace learning is critical to its success; (4) new standards and evaluation tools are required for I/TP to demonstrate success; (5) new strategies for professional development must be created to support I/TP; (6) I/TP change guidance and counseling practices; and (7) I/TP can be either facilitated or hindered by the policy and political environment in which they are implemented. Included among the recommendations for facilitating I/TP were calls to communicate the vision of curriculum I/TP, link I/TP to other reforms, demonstrate how students can profit from good I/TP programs, create a new assessment and credentialing system, develop new collaborative forms of research, clarify the possibilities of the workplace as an instructional site, and create a supportive policy environment. (Appended is a list of summit participants.) (MN)
