Just received this news about an interesting forum on the dynamics between different levels of school, so I'm spreading the word:

The Chronicle of Higher Education will next month publish School & College, a special report that will explore the interplay between primary, secondary, and higher education. The publication will be sent free to all readers who sign up at http://schoolandcollege.com/free

School & College will examine how well (or not so well) America is preparing its young people to make the most of a college education. School & College will look into the ways in which society is dealing with the issues that will determine the future of education -- day to day, year to year, kindergarten through college.

The issue will include articles that explore how much or how little cooperation there is between schools and colleges; why colleges think schools are failing -- and vice versa; whether schools and colleges are meeting the needs of businesses and society; what state governments are doing to coordinate reform efforts to improve the preparation of college students; and whether education schools part of the answer or part of the problem.

School & College will bring together people who often talk past each other: leaders of school districts; high-school principals and teachers; college presidents, provosts, and professors; key people in education schools; government officials; and leaders of community organizations, foundations, and think tanks.
