V. Publications

Scope and content:

"Published Books - books in which I have written chapters or was a part of a team that wrote the publication.

The Role of Rural High Schools is a chapter we prepared for a book published by the U.S. Department of Education, but we never received a copy of that completed book.

The book, Career Education Resource Guide is one in which I wrote the chapter on Middle Junior High Schools.

The National Guidance Handbook was written by a team, and I mainly wrote the parts dealing with vocational education.

The book on the Politics of Vocational Education was one developed during by time as Executive Director of AVA , which I did a publication on the overview of political strategies .

Two other AVA Year books - One in 1976 and one in 1971 in which I have a chapter in each.

The book, expanding the Reach of Educational Reforms: Perspectives from Leaders in Schools. Of Educational Interventions. My chapter is Chapter 12- Taking High Schools That Work to Scale: The Evolution of a High School Reform Program.

We write several books based on High Schools That Work and the sixth book should be out in February 2022, published by ASCD.

There are five publications done in the late 1960s and early 1970s. One was an Area Vocational School Catalog which was the first complete publication, in one place, of all the offerings of the system of postsecondary technical schools.

We prepared four commission reports aimed at impacting state policy and school district policies.

We prepared four publications on improving the transition from middle grades to high school and from high school to postsecondary studies and careers around literacy and math to address the large gaps of many students.

We produced a number of case studies describing the changes in school and classroom practices occurring in schools that were making substantial progress toward better preparing students for postsecondary study and careers.

Publications Special Reports and Best Practices Publications:

There are four publications that dealt with developing a program of student services for area vocational technical schools now called The Technical College System. Part of my work involved developing a system of structured services to better connect area centers to the high school so that high school counselors understand the potential these centers had for postsecondary students. This grew out of a proposal I wrote while working on my doctorate at UGA and received a $ 108,000 grant. This became part of my dissertation which is housed in the UGA library.

There are a number of special reports prepared for legislation groups, legislators, states, school districts or the U.S. Department of Education.

There are two reports (electronic on thumb drive) - a second report for Kentucky and a report for New Mexico.

Best Practice Publications - We produced a number of best practices publications to communicate to schools within the network and outside the network what works in improving high schools especially for students who had been enrolled in general and vocational courses.

Several publications were prepared on high school completion for school leaders for the educational and policy leaders.

We prepared several publications addressing the need to strengthen programs for preparing school principals directed at institutions of higher education , state board policy and school systems.

Another significant publication in 1969 based on a request from Dr. Grant Venn of the U.S. DOE to hold a national conference on exemplary projects and practices. That conference and the publication are enclosed. It provided the basis of the career educational movement in the 1970s. A copy of all the presentations and the conference program is enclosed, along with the synthesized publication.

We developed a number of publications on improving literacy and math for middle Grades and High School students with a special focus on the career - oriented students.

We prepared a publication Lost in Transition: Building a Better Path from School to College and Careers based on one - day forums held in 15 different states. The forum report for Tennessee is missing. These were an attempt to raise awareness about the problems in transition between high school and particularly community and technical colleges.

We prepared a number of reports showing the changes in school practices students were experiencing in schools making significant gains in achievement and students in comparative schools who were not making significant gains in achievement.

We prepared a number of reports and working papers on improving the quality of career technical studies. Many of these were aimed at state board policies to replace graduation requirements."
