The Education Articulation between High School and University in the United States
The United States is one of the earliest to establish education articulation be-tween high school and university.There are such five stages in its development:extending high school education upwards,establishing advanced placement courses,broadening articu-lation pathways,establishing educational standards,and diversifying admission standards.It has achieved those accomplishments:strengthening the rigor of high school curricula,elimi-nating credit barriers between high school and university,providing diverse support for un-derrepresented groups,and increasing articulation incentives through the adjustment of student evaluation methods.Thus,China should build a new model for the joint cultivation,provide a curriculum system of articulation,play the role of professional organizations,and improve the policy guarantee mechanism.
