- Summary:
- As a group, Black and Latino boys face persistent and devastating disparities in achievement compared to their White counterparts. Put simply they are among the most vulnerable populations in our schools. Schooling for Resilience investigates how seven schools created specifically to serve boys of colour, set out to address the broad array of academic and social problems faced by Black and Latino boys. In particular the authors explore how choices about school structure and culture shape students' development and achievement. In doing so, they identity educational strategies that all schools can learn from. This thoughtful, passionately argued volume promises to influence efforts to improve the achievement and life outcomes of Black and Latino boys for years to come. Book jacket.
