The Commission will report its findings and recommendations to the President and the Congress in November 2000. Find out at Teachers Discuss, an online forum that features teachers' views on a range of issues. Whether you're an educator, policymaker, or citizen, you are invited to read what teachers are saying and post your own views and experiences. Principals and teachers, superintendents and chief state school officers, and students will talk about how they have used Baldrige criteria and improved academic achievement. A second teleconference will synthesize and disseminate what was learned through the field hearings.
Reports are often available here before appearing in print.
You may participate in a panel discussion, ask an expert your question, and post your own ideas or stories. The report presents findings about the academic preparation of high school students who participate in vocational education, relevant school reform efforts, and transitions after high school. It also describes economic and labor market trends and their implications for vocational programs, as well as changing workplace practices and employer perspectives on worker skills and proficiency.
