Promoting Early College, Inside Higher Ed., 26 March, 2009
This isn't an article from a teaching journal, but I did want to alert you to the early college high school movement and research emerging on it. The article discusses how at-risk high school students seem to benefit more from challenging academic work on college campuses than from on-site high school interventions. The programs generally involve students working towards and earning a two-year associate's degree at the same time as they are earning a high school diploma. You can find more information at the Early College High School Initiative.
Harvard University Press has also published a book on the subject: Minding the Gap: Why Integrating High School with College Makes Sense and How to Do It , Edited by Nancy Hoffman, Joel Vargas, Andrea Venezia, and Marc S. Miller
