Angeles and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study investigated the impact of the New York City early college model and the extent to which system leaders at the New York City Department of Education and City University of New York are systematically collaborating to evaluate and improve the early college model to support the preparation of Black and Latino males to successfully transition to a CUNY college. The participants for this study included early college principals, CUNY college liaisons, Early College High School alumni and systems leaders within the New York City Department of Education and City University of New York who are directly responsible for supporting early college schools. Several key findings were identified from this study, including (1) early college principals do not primarily focus on students’ race and/or gender when implementing systems and structures that address college preparation; but rather focus on implementing best practices and supports that address the individual needs of all students, (2) Early College High School alumni attribute developing positive relationships with high school and college staff while attending an early college school as an important factor in their preparedness to transition to a CUNY college and (3) There is no specific instrument used by DOE and CUNY to evaluate the early college program as it relates to supporting the successful transition of Black and Latino males to a CUNY college. Lastly, from the overall findings from the study, several key conclusions were made, including (1) The leadership practices of early college principals have an impact on preparing Black and Latino males to successfully transition to a CUNY college, (2) early college schools that have a systemic approach to developing students’ academic behaviors and understanding of how college operates have an impact on the preparation of Black and Latino males transition to a CUNY college and (3) the collaborative practices between NYC DOE and CUNY do not impact the successful transition of Black and Latino males to a CUNY college.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines how young black and Latino males succeed in New York City schools. Succeeding in the City includes over 400 face-to-face student interviews from the 40 New York City high schools participating in the Expanded Success Initiative (http://schools.nyc.gov/Offices/ESI/default.htm) (ESI), which is designed to increase college and career readiness among the City's black and Latino males. ESI schools are a part of New York City's Young Men's Initiative (http://nyc.gov/html/ymi/home/home/shtml), the nation's most comprehensive effort to tackle the broad disparities slowing the advancement of black and Latino young men. The research team attributed levels of success to several factors including: Consistently high expectations from parents and families; Reputations that exempted them from gang recruitment; A desire to transcend poverty; and Meaningful relationships with caring teachers and other adults in their schools who foster innovative college-going cultures and respectful educational environments. The study also included 90 black and Latino male undergraduate students who were enrolled at 44 colleges and universities. The data collected from the college participants revealed the following: Approximately 75% applied exclusively to public colleges in New York because these were the only schools to which they were introduced. Students felt intellectually prepared for college. Few students established substantive relationships with professors (a key factor in high school success). Succeeding in the City features recommendations for student success aimed at parents and families, urban high school teachers, high school guidance counselors, principals and other high school leaders, and postsecondary professionals and leaders.

Book excerpt: Increasingly, school districts are recognizing that high school graduation rates may not be the ultimate measure of success, as evidence accumulates that students who obtain a college degree do markedly better than students who only graduate from high school. In New York City, while graduation rates have increased dramatically over the last decade, college readiness rates remain troublingly low, especially for young men of color. Among students scheduled to graduate in 2010, for example, only 9 percent of Black males and 11 percent of Latino males graduated college ready. Our new report, Moving the Needle: Exploring Key Levers to Boost College Readiness Among Black and Latino Males in New York City, examines the trajectory of Black and Latino young men on their path to college, zeroing in on points along that path where schools might provide more effective support. The report describes college-related outcomes and other indicators that help predict college readiness for Black and Latino male students over time, and discusses key contextual factors that underlie these educational outcomes. This paper is the first in our ongoing evaluation of the Expanded Success Initiative (ESI), a new citywide effort providing resources to 40 schools with the aim of improving college and career readiness among Black and Latino young men. The final chapter of Moving the Needle uses our findings to reflect on potential directions for ESI schools as they work to support Black and Latino young men on the path to college and successful careers.

Download or read book The Source of the River written by Douglas S. Massey and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Americans and Latinos earn lower grades and drop out of college more often than whites or Asians. Yet thirty years after deliberate minority recruitment efforts began, we still don't know why. In The Shape of the River, William Bowen and Derek Bok documented the benefits of affirmative action for minority students, their communities, and the nation at large. But they also found that too many failed to achieve academic success. In The Source of the River, Douglas Massey and his colleagues investigate the roots of minority underperformance in selective colleges and universities. They explain how such factors as neighborhood, family, peer group, and early schooling influence the academic performance of students from differing racial and ethnic origins and differing social classes. Drawing on a major new source of data--the National Longitudinal Survey of Freshmen--the authors undertake a comprehensive analysis of the diverse pathways by which whites, African Americans, Latinos, and Asians enter American higher education. Theirs is the first study to document the different characteristics that students bring to campus and to trace out the influence of these differences on later academic performance. They show that black and Latino students do not enter college disadvantaged by a lack of self-esteem. In fact, overconfidence is more common than low self-confidence among some minority students. Despite this, minority students are adversely affected by racist stereotypes of intellectual inferiority. Although academic preparation is the strongest predictor of college performance, shortfalls in academic preparation are themselves largely a matter of socioeconomic disadvantage and racial segregation. Presenting important new findings, The Source of the River documents the ongoing power of race to shape the life chances of America's young people, even among the most talented and able.
Download or read book Succeeding in the City written by Shaun R. Harper and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report is the first publication from the New York City Black and Latino Male High School Achievement Study, a project that entailed face-to-face individual interviews with 415 students from 40 public high schools. Ninety were enrolled in 44 colleges and universities, the rest were college-bound high school juniors and seniors. Understanding how these young men succeeded in and out of school, developed college aspirations, became college-ready, and navigated their ways to postsecondary education was the primary aim of this project. Instead of further amplifying deficits and documenting failures in urban schools, 13 Black and Latino male researchers from the University of Pennsylvania chose to study students who figured out how to foster productive relationships, resist pressures to join gangs and drop out of high school, and succeed in environments cyclically disadvantaged by structural inequities. Several important findings are presented in this report. It concludes with recommendations for six different constituencies: (1) parents and families; (2) urban high school teachers; (3) high school guidance counselors; (4) principals and other high school leaders; (5) postsecondary professionals and leaders; and (6) mayors, governors, and policymakers. Anyone who wishes to understand how young men of color succeed in urban educational contexts is likely to find this report interesting and useful." --Publication web page, http://www.gse.upenn.edu/equity/nycReport, (viewed on Oct. 28, 2013).

Download or read book School Resegregation written by John Charles Boger and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-11-13 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confronting a reality that many policy makers would prefer to ignore, contributors to this volume offer the latest information on the trend toward the racial and socioeconomic resegregation of southern schools. In the region that has achieved more widespread public school integration than any other since 1970, resegregation, combined with resource inequities and the current "accountability movement," is now bringing public education in the South to a critical crossroads. In thirteen essays, leading thinkers in the field of race and public education present not only the latest data and statistics on the trend toward resegregation but also legal and policy analysis of why these trends are accelerating, how they are harmful, and what can be done to counter them. What's at stake is the quality of education available to both white and nonwhite students, they argue. This volume will help educators, policy makers, and concerned citizens begin a much-needed dialogue about how America can best educate its increasingly multiethnic student population in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book The Imperial University written by Piya Chatterjee and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At colleges and universities throughout the United States, political protest and intellectual dissent are increasingly being met with repressive tactics by administrators, politicians, and the police—from the use of SWAT teams to disperse student protestors and the profiling of Muslim and Arab American students to the denial of tenure and dismissal of politically engaged faculty. The Imperial University brings together scholars, including some who have been targeted for their open criticism of American foreign policy and settler colonialism, to explore the policing of knowledge by explicitly linking the academy to the broader politics of militarism, racism, nationalism, and neoliberalism that define the contemporary imperial state. The contributors to this book argue that “academic freedom” is not a sufficient response to the crisis of intellectual repression. Instead, they contend that battles fought over academic containment must be understood in light of the academy’s relationship to U.S. expansionism and global capital. Based on multidisciplinary research, autobiographical accounts, and even performance scripts, this urgent analysis offers sobering insights into such varied manifestations of “the imperial university” as CIA recruitment at black and Latino colleges, the connections between universities and civilian and military prisons, and the gender and sexual politics of academic repression.

Download or read book Restoring Dignity in Public Schools written by Maria Hantzopoulos and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many students in urban public schools, the routines of standards-based instruction and frequent testing remove the possibilities for sustained inquiry and critical engagement in school and with the larger world. Restoring Dignity in Public Schools demonstrates how urban public schools can create thriving, authentic centers of learning. Drawing from rich narratives of human rights education (HRE) in action, the author shows how school leaders can create an environment in which a culture of dignity, respect, tolerance, and democracy flourishes. The book examines the dynamics of HRE in practice, defines its constituent elements, and explains how these components work in tandem to produce schooling that encourages young people to critically interact with the world around them and imagine different alternatives for the future. This timely book provides a viable alternative to the currently favoured strategies of increased testing, privitization, and disciplinary control.
