Abstract

Working Knowledge: Work-Based Learning and Education Reform

Thomas Bailey, Katherine L. Hughes, and David Thornton Moore

Based on over five years of research on work-based learning in high school and community college programs across the country, Working Knowledge explores the potential for using work-based learning as part of a broad education reform strategy. Bailey, Hughes, and Moore synthesize a historical overview of work-based learning and its place in policy-making with the experiences of teachers and students, resulting in a dynamic account of the state of work-based learning and its significance for the field of education.
