Pathways to Prosperity: Meeting the Challenge of
Preparing Young Americans for the 21st Century Harvard Graduate School of
Education
The report argues that our national strategy for
education and youth development has been too narrowly focused on an
academic, classroom-based approach. Meanwhile, many other advanced
industrial nations are succeeding with a broader, more holistic
approach that places greater emphasis on career and technical
education and work-based learning. To regain the educational
leadership we held for more than a century, the United States must
build a more comprehensive network of pathways to serve youth in high
school and beyond. Access
Report
AYPF hosted an
event that featured an overview of the report, the reactions of a
panel of education and business leaders, and special remarks from
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. A full video of the event
and a link to the text of Secretary Duncan's speech can be found on
the AYPR
website.

Study Disputes Myth of School Bullies' Social Status Nirvi Shah,
Education Week
In the movie "Mean Girls," head plastic Regina
George tortures her North Shore High classmates of all stripes,
including her supposed best friends. At Springfield Elementary, where
Bart Simpson goes to school, Nelson Muntz, the oversized dimwit with
the distinctive laugh, is the cartoon series' bully. A new study
suggests that, in reality, neither of those students would be the
aggressors on campus. Read
