Youth Development in Education Reform
overview

Youth development principles are central to the design of successful reforms in urban high schools. Initiatives such as New York City’s New Century High Schools Initiative re-organize large schools into small autonomous units and focus on building caring, sustained relationships, high expectations, learning activities that are engaging, and providing opportunities for youth voice and participation.
