About the Book
Based on five years of research in high school and community college programs, this book explores the potential for using work-based learning as part of a broad education reform strategy.
Reviews
"The authors, all respected figures in the school-to-work field, bring a committed but critical perspective to their search for a workable educational reform that can straddle America's ever-waning investment in traditional vocational education and the realization that not all high school students are bound for four-year institutions…Working Knowledge is a sophisticated and balanced treatment of the preparation of youth for the workplace. It deserves and will undoubtedly receive a wide readership." -- Teachers College Record
