Nongrading the High School.

Jenkins, John M.

International Journal of Educational Reform, v7 n3 p276-80 Jul 1998

Reviews the history of nongraded high schools, from Preston Search's pioneering efforts in Pueblo, Colorado, to early 1900s Dalton and Winnetka Plans and midcentury continuous-progress plans. Competency, not age, already determines participation in band, orchestra, choir, and athletics. Curricula should be based on the structure, methodology, and content of subject fields. (MLH)
