ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Like so many projects, this "little" paper turned into a much bigger project than anyone could have anticipated. Many talented people contributed to the effort, and I offer my deepest gratitude to them all. First and foremost, it would have been impossible to conduct this research without the involvement of twenty of NCRVE's thirty Urban Schools Network sites, especially the twenty program directors who coordinated the data collection at each site. In addition, nearly all of the nation's state-level Tech Prep coordinators provided information about Tech Prep evaluations and outcomes assessments occurring in their local consortia and states. Among my own staff, Debra Daniels, Jim Layton, Paula Puckett, Christina O'Connell, William Reger, and Sue Thomas made valuable contributions at various points along the way. Still others affiliated with NCRVE deserve recognition for their support and encouragement, especially Ruth Katz and Erica Nielsen Andrew. Both have nurtured NCRVE's Urban Schools Network with dedication and enthusiasm. Finally, many thanks go to my dear friend and collaborator, Carolyn Dornsife, whose insights have contributed in immeasurable ways to my understanding the complexities of educational reform.
