A Career School-Within-a-School for Ethnically Diverse, At-Risk High School Students.
Hon, Jeanne E.; Shorr, Abbe
American Secondary Education, v26 n2 p18-23 Dec 1997
To counter low test scores, a rising dropout rate, and teacher apathy, a small group of teachers at Hollywood (California) High School developed a career academy, an interdisciplinary school-within-a-school stressing small classes and business speakers. The program recruited interested students and promoted a career theme with good employment opportunities and vacation-time employment. (MLH)
