It also examines two of the core issues surrounding these programs: they can have a profound impact on other components of the education system and participation in the programs has become key to admission at selective institutions of higher education. By looking at what could enhance the quality of high school advanced study programs as well as what precedes and comes after these programs, this report provides teachers, parents, curriculum developers, administrators, college science and mathematics faculty, and the educational research community with a detailed assessment that can be used to guide change within advanced study programs. 606 $aMathematics$xStudy and teaching (Secondary)$zUnited States 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching (Secondary)$zUnited States 606 $aAdvanced placement programs (Education) 615 0$aMathematics$xStudy and teaching (Secondary) 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching (Secondary) 615 0$aAdvanced placement programs (Education) 676 $a507.1/073 701 $aGollub$b J.
