Alternative Schools: The State of the Art.
Raywid, Mary Anne
Educational Leadership, v52 n1 p26-31 Sep 1994
Alternative schools are definitive departures from the programmatic, organizational, and behavioral regularities inhibiting school reform. Many reforms now pursued in traditional schools were pioneered by alternative schools. Types include popular innovations, last-chance programs, and remedial programs. Advantages, disadvantages, common elements, success factors, and image problems are discussed. (28 references) (MLH)
