Abstract	"Student-Centered Schools: Closing the Opportunity Gap" documents the practices and outcomes of four urban high schools that, through student-centered approaches, are preparing their students for success in college, career, and life by providing them with the building blocks of knowledge and skills they will need as adults. The schools in the study are non-selective in their admissions and serve populations that are predominantly low-income students of color. The studies focus on schools using student-centered practices through either the Linked Learning initiative or Envision Education model. Linked Learning, a state-wide initiative, integrates rigorous academics with career-based learning and real-world workplace experiences. Envision Education is a small charter network that creates personalized learning environments for students to develop 21st century skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration. Analysis of outcomes for students at all four study schools confirms that they are outperforming most other schools in their respective communities that are serving similar populations, especially African American, Latino, low-income students, and English language learners. This is evident in graduation, student achievement, and college preparatory course completion data; college persistence data; and surveys of graduates. (ERIC).
