Finishing the Job: Improving the Achievement of Vocational Students

by Gene Bottoms and Alice Presson

Since 1987 the Southern Regional Education Board-State Vocational Education Consortium has worked with high schools (now more than 1,000 schools in 23 states) to produce significant advances in the reading, mathematics and science achievement of vocational students. This publication describes the progress that has been made, the "things that matter" in increasing student performance, and some actions that states, districts and schools can take to improve student achievement in the future.
