Best Practices in Alternative High Schools
The California Learning Collaborative on Alternative Education was designed to help school leaders learn from one another, so it became the perfect platform to develop a series of case studies about successful strategies used by its members.
The Gardner Center has taken the lead in developing a collection of case studies, documenting the work being done by its members to create career pathways, promote college readiness, develop skills for lifelong learning, and more.
Notably, the series pays particular attention to the ways that these schools support their teachers through professional development, leadership development, and collaboration.
