Book Overview
This book promotes an understanding of the challenges and strengths of minority children in U.S. schools. It also recommends effective practices, interventions, and policies to improve their achievement in school and their success in life. Coverage not only informs about the most identifiable minority groups, but also provides explicit recommendations for educators, policy makers, and practitioners. The central idea of the book is that educational, psychological, and social research, to put it simply, should be used. Conceptualizing opportunities and challenges in working with minority children in the context of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, the book analyzes educational and social policy and provides recommendations for educators, psychologists, researchers, policymakers, and others.
