Abstract	This issue (v14 n1) of the University of Illinois'"On Research and Leadership Update" contains seven articles. The first, "Community College and Beyond: A National Evaluation of Tech Prep," by Debra Bragg, discusses results of the author's study of student experiences and outcomes in eight local tech-prep consortia in the U.S. "Student Outcomes Assessment in Tech Prep," by Elisabeth Barnett, stresses the need for development of more accurate assessment methodologies for tech prep outcomes. "Considerations in Working with the Dual Credit Student: Social and Legal Issues," by George Johnston and Sharon Kristovich, examines and recommends ways to deal with legal issues involving students under 16 at community colleges. "The Illinois Partnership Academy: A Benefit for All," by Linda Denk, describes the Hospitality and Tourism Academy (HTA) program at Springfield High, Illinois. HTA is offered as a school-within-a-school tech prep program. The author argues that these types of programs increase student retention and college attendance. "Top 10: The Most Useful Tech Prep Related Web Resources," by JoHyun Kim, includes annotated citations and Web addresses for sites the author finds to be useful and authoritative. "A Position Statement Regarding Reauthorization of the Carl D. Perkins Act for Tech Prep," by Dick Arndt, argues that Tech Prep deserves to be continued as a funded initiative under a reauthorized Perkins Act. Finally, Doug Gardner reviews the book, "The Dual Credit Phenomenon! Challenging Secondary School Students across 50 States." (NB)
