This annotated bibliography provides a recommended list of research and theoretical literature in the field of secondary education. It organizes the literature into three main topics: (1) references of general interest; (2) reform strategies designed to promote academic achievement; and (3) literature relevant to the specific research projects conducted at the National Center on Effective Secondary Schools. A new category, Student Engagement, has been developed and is entered as a subtopic under the Organizational Remedies section of the second main topic. The bibliography contains over 500 citations selected upon consultation with researchers at the National Center on Effective Secondary Schools and other universities and educational research institutions. Each citation also includes an ERIC access number, if available. (LMI)
