Education Next | Summer 2016

In Virginia, Gov. Terry McAuliffe signed legislation last week that will lead to an overhaul of the state’s high school graduation requirements.

The goal is to make high school more relevant to the working world by giving students the opportunity to experience more career preparation and technical opportunities while in high school.

In the new issue of Education Next, Joanne Jacobs writes about a public high school in Salt Lake City that puts students in charge of their own education and offers plenty of opportunities for students to take career tech and community college courses.

For more about the school, Salt Lake City’s Innovations Early College High School, please read “High School of the Future.”
