Book excerpt: Since the 1990s, Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) programs have experienced unprecedented expansion in American public schools. The program and its proliferation in poor, urban schools districts with large numbers of Latina/o and African American students is not without controversy. Public support is often based on the belief that the program provides much-needed discipline for "at risk" youth. Meanwhile, critics of JROTC argue that the program is a recruiting tool for the U.S. military and is yet another example of an increasingly punitive climate that disproportionately affect youth of color in American public schools. Citizen, Student, Soldier intervenes in these debates, providing critical ethnographic attention to understanding the motivations, aspirations, and experiences of students who participate in increasing numbers in JROTC programs. These students have complex reasons for their participation, reasons that challenge the reductive idea that they are either dangerous youths who need discipline or victims being exploited by a predatory program. Rather, their participation is informed by their marginal economic position in the local political economy, as well as their desire to be regarded as full citizens, both locally and nationally. Citizenship is one of the central concerns guiding the JROTC curriculum; this book explores ethnographically how students understand and enact different visions of citizenship and grounds these understandings in local and national political economic contexts. It also highlights the ideological, social and cultural conditions of Latina/o youth and their families who both participate in and are enmeshed in vigorous debates about citizenship, obligation, social opportunity, militarism and, ultimately, the American Dream.

The program is a marriage of the defense-sponsored Junior Resrve Officer's Training Corps (JROTC) program and a comprehensive high school reform initiative referred to as career academeis. This report grew out of the sponsors' interest in tracking the implentation of the program both as a means to improve it and to expand it to additional sites.

Book excerpt: Report examines the JROTC program's history, consideration of its distribution and relation to military manpower needs, and an analysis of its curriculum. Focuses on 2 ways to analyze the JROTC program: 1) Should the program be in the public schools and basically does it produce the educational results it claims; and 2) Should the public schools be used for the benefit of organizations like the military whose goals are not those accepted as the primary goals of public education in a democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook was designed as a planning aid for districts participating in the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) Career Academy Program, a partnership among the United States Department of Defense, the United States Department of Education, individual school districts, and the business community. The program personalizes instruction through schools-within-schools and provides leadership and vocational and academic training to at-risk youth. The program emphasizes high school graduation through academic instruction; critical skills development through a career-field focus; and citizenship, leadership, responsibility, values, and discipline through the JROTC course of instruction. Following the introduction, chapter 2 describes the academy model (its theoretical basis and overview) and chapter 3 discusses the roles of various participants. One table is included. The appendix contains an implementation timeline. A list of National Center for Research in Vocational Education publications is included. (Contains 10 references.) (LMI)
