Description

Retooling America's Educational System is a compelling call to action from an insider who has witnessed firsthand the cracks in our nation's educational foundation, namely the steadfast and onesided push for college education. Drawing on years of experience, the author exposes the deeprooted inequities inhibiting technical and trade education. This book shines a spotlight on realworld solutions, including a successful SchooltoRegistered Apprenticeship Program that transformed student outcomesfrom just 50% job placement to an astounding 98%. Through this and other case studies, readers will see the potential of a fully integrated Ytrack system that prepares students not only for college, but for life. Exploring the impacts of funding gaps, union dynamics, and RighttoWork legislation, Retooling America's Educational System reveals how current policies are perpetuating inequality for students with tradeoriented skillsand what we can do to fix it.
