Description

Since 1982, the Dept. of Educationäó»s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has periodically surveyed the status of curricula being implemented in Americaäó»s high schools and the course-taking patterns of high school students, as identified from their transcripts. However, many questions remain unanswered about the school programs and performance of students with disabilities; for ex., the extent to which students took their courses in general education or special education settings; and the wide-ranging differences in the school programs of students who differ in the nature of the disability that qualifies them for special education services. The National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2) provides information on these and other important questions for students with disabilities. The study addresses questions about youth with disabilities by providing information over a 10-year period about a nationally representative sample of secondary school students with disabilities, including information that details for policymakers, educators, parents, and students a national picture of what courses students with disabilities took in high school, in what settings, and with what success in terms of credits and grades earned. This report describes course taking primarily through the lens of course credits earned. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
