Untracking and Students' Futures: Closing the Gap between Aspirations and Expectations.
Smith-Maddox, Renee; Wheelock, Anne
Phi Delta Kappan, v77 n3 p222-28 Nov 1995

Innovative strategies and support programs, such as Parents and Counselors Together (PACT) and Achieving Via Individual Determination (AVID), can help close the gap between student aspirations and school expectations.
