Pilot Program Helping Schools Link Lessons Of Athletics And Academics, Kay Hyatt

General University of Maine Publications

Four Maine high schools are pilot sites for a new program designed to strengthen the relationship between athletics and academics and formally connect the contributions of sports to the educational improvement goals of each school. The foe us of the project is professional development of coaches to ensure that the lessons and experiences of athletics support the local school mission and the state's performance-based expectations for students.
