Minding the Gap: Why Integrating High School With College Makes Sense and How to Do It

Minding the Gap argues that in today¿s highly competitive, global economy, all young people need a postsecondary education. Yet only one in ten students from the lowest economic quintile in the United States currently earns a postsecondary credential. This timely and instructive book explores policies and practices that would quickly enable a larger number of low-income and first-generation college students to earn postsecondary degrees. In doing so, Minding the Gap calls for a system that thoroughly integrates secondary and postsecondary education¿a system in which a college degree is the goal for all students.Nancy Hoffman is the author of 'Minding the Gap: Why Integrating High School With College Makes Sense and How to Do It', published 2007 under ISBN 9781891792458 and ISBN 1891792458.
