   SCHOOLING
   
   Schooling is the process of imparting knowledge and skills to individuals through curriculum and instruction, experiential learning, and work-based learning. Effective schooling provides individuals with the necessary tools to become productive citizens, pursue higher education and lifelong learning, engage in meaningful employment, and work toward achieving their life goals.
   
   Under the No Child Left Behind Act, all students are required to participate in assessments and accountability systems in order to ensure that (a) schools are held accountable for students’ access to the general education curriculum, (b) schools hold high expectations for all students, and (c) student achievement is improved (National Center on Secondary Education and Transition, 2004).
   
   Conditions that promote positive schooling experiences are supported when all students “have access to challenging curriculum and their educational programs are based on high expectations that acknowledge each student’s potential and ultimate contribution to society” (Nolet & McLaughlin, 2000, p. 2). All youth need to participate in educational programs grounded in standards and clear performance expectations and graduate from high school with a diploma that serves as a credential for accessing further education and employment opportunities.
   
   Schools promote student learning when they:
   
       * implement curricula and academic programs based on clear state standards;
       * implement career and technical education programs based on professional and industry standards;
       * provide assessment, curriculum, experiential learning, and work-based learning experiences that are universally designed in order to provide access to all students;
       * build small learning communities;
       * hire and retain highly qualified staff; and
       * implement high school graduation standards and options based on meaningful measures of student learning and skills.
   
   Exemplary schools consider the needs of all youth and implement academic and non-academic courses and programs of study that help all youth achieve successful postschool outcomes such as postsecondary education and training, employment, and civic engagement
