Provide work-based learning - giving students and their parents the choice of a system that integrates school-based and work-based learning. The system should span high school and post-secondary studies and should be planned by educators, employers, and employees.
Provide teaming of academic and vocational teachers -- having an organization, structure and schedule giving academic and vocational teachers the time to plan and deliver integrated instruction aimed at teaching high-level academic and technical content.
Keep students actively engaged -- getting every student involved in rigorous and challenging learning.
Provide guidance - involving each student and his/her parents in a guidance and advising system that ensures the completion of an accelerated program of study with an in-depth academic or vocational-technical major.
Provide a system of extra help for students to complete an accelerated program that includes high-level academic and technical content -- providing a structured system of extra help to enable students who may lack adequate preparation to complete an accelerated program of study that includes high-level academic and technical content.
Keeping track of progress using student assessment and program evaluation data - using student assessment and program evaluation data to continuously improve the school climate, organization, management, curricula and instruction to advance student learning and to recognize students who meet both curriculum and performance goals.
