	APPLYING ELEMENTS OF EFFECTIVE SECONDARY SCHOOLING FOR LANGUAGE MINORITY STUDENTS:
		Schools which are effective with LM students make it a priority to overcome obstacles to the participation of parents and actively encourage and facilitate parents' involvement in their children's schooling.
		The elements of effective schooling for LM students may or may not be present throughout the time of LM students' secondary schooling (e.g., for all four years of high school), and they may or may not be present in all of the educational experiences of LM students at any one point in time.
		One way for secondary school staffs to ensure that they are meeting the needs of LM students is to establish goals (that is, to decide what they aspire to), to examine what they are doing, and then to adjust what they are doing to meet their goals.

	Secondary education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Secondary education is a period of education which, in most contemporary educational systems of the world, follows directly after primary education, and which may be followed by tertiary, "post-secondary", or "higher" education (e.g., university).
		In some educational systems, secondary schools are literally termed middle schools; the use of this term is not consistent around the world as middle school in some systems refers to the first period of secondary schooling, or alternately, the last period of primary education.
		Primary and secondary education together are sometimes (in particular, in Canada and the United States) referred to as "K-12" education, (K is for kindergarten, 12 is for twelfth grade).

	Feature Article of Monday, 24 July 2006
		Given those facts, it is accurate to describe the headmastership in Ghana under both models of secondary schooling as another public service position characterized with bureaucratic bottlenecks, solo dictatorship, and parochial personal interests, not as a means to improve student learning necessary for the development of the nationâs human resources.
		Needless to say, as much as secondary schools must be run efficiently in their use of resources of money, personnel, machinery, equipment, and buildings, they are not business organizations that warrant mimicry of business concepts, ethos, or ideologies.
		My observation of Ghanaian secondary school classrooms is that teachers continue to use transmission and lecturing methods of teaching, where the teacher does all the talking, asks all the questions, gives all the directions, information, and facts or figures while the students are required to listen attentively and passively.
