Model College-Preparatory Curriculum
The research is unequivocal: Students who are taught a rigorous curriculum are better prepared for the challenges of college and work. But what exactly does a rich, demanding high school course look like?
The Education Trust and ACT, Inc. teamed up recently to answer that question and identify the common components of successful high school courses. The report, On Course for Success, examines in detail the content of rigorous, college-oriented classes and offers educators, parents, students, and the public an inside view of what happens in high-level courses through model syllabi and course descriptions.
The following links give readers a look at selected high school courses that prepare all students for the rigor of college and the workforce.
