Very intriguing writing from three different authors on how to improve black performance in education. Each essay addresses what the writer thinks is the primary problem to be resolved. If you are an educator, there is a lot of good information to be mined here--particularly from Theresa Perry's essay (which composes 2/3 of the book) on the African-American philosophy of education, and from Claude Steele's essay on stereotype threat. The book can be very dense at points, and, unfortunately, quite uneven. I wouldn't recommend this for recreational reading. ( ) Written by three prominent black scholars, this series of essays presents three different points of view regarding the achievement gap between black and latino students on the one hand and white and asian students on the other. Points of debate include the history of the gap, the numbers behind it, the fallout in popular culture associated with the achievement gap and ideas on what works. It is an interesting and thought provoking series in which the authors sometimes compliment each other's viewpoints and at other times almost contradict eachother. My only disappointment was that the promised listing of programs that work was more theory than nuts and bolts examples of what works for whom. Still worth keeping.

Three African-American intellectuals on a crucial educational issue of our time A huge portion of the school reform debate in America--explicitly and implicitly--is framed around the success and failure of African-American children in school. The test-score "achievement gap" between white and black students, especially, is a driving and divisive issue. Yet the voices of prominent African-American intellectuals have been conspicuously left out of the debate about black children. Young, Gifted, and Black sets out to reframe the terms of that debate. The authors argue that understanding how children experience the struggle of being black in America is essential to improving how schools serve them. Taking on liberals and conservatives alike, Theresa Perry argues that all kinds of contemporary school settings systematically undermine motivation and achievement for black students. She draws on history, narrative, and research to outline an African-American tradition of education for liberation and to suggest what kinds of settings black children need most. Claude Steele reports stunningly clear empirical psychological evidence that when black students believe they are being judged as members of a stereotyped group rather than as individuals, they do worse on tests. He calls the mechanism at work "stereotype threat," and reflects on its broad implications for schools. Asa Hilliard ends the book with an essay on actual schools around the country where African-American students achieve at high levels. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
