Free Help Coming to Exit-Exam No-Passers
A new, statewide collaborative project of California's community colleges, the UC and CSU systems and K-12 districts will provide free assistance to students retaking the high-school exit exam so they can earn their diplomas.
The California High School Exit Exam Stepping Into Your Future initiative is currently recruiting from the classes of 2006 and 2007 for students to take the inaugural course. The curriculum emphasizes high-interest, career and workforce topics. Classes will be available online or at various adult school sites.
For full details, see the program's website or the press release from UC Santa Barbara's Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, which is developing content and evaluating the program's effectiveness.
