Personalizing The High School Experience For Each Student

Why is it that so many students see high school as a prison sentence to be endured rather than a time to learn and grow? According to DiMartino and Clarke, many high school students feel invisible and isolated. They don't see the relevance of what they are being taught, and they don't see how their classes are preparing them for success as adults. This book offers a new vision for high schools-a vision that puts students at the center of their own learning. Personalized high schools engage students by allowing them to plan and develop their own pathways through school based on their talents, interests, and aspirations.
