Latinization of U.S. Schools: Successful Teaching and Learning in Shifting Cultural Contexts

Format: Book

Description: The Latinization of U.S. Schools centers on the voices of Latino youth. It examines how the students themselves make meaning of the policies and practices within schools. The student voices expose an inequitable opportunity structure that results in depressed academic performance for many Latino youth. Each chapter concludes with empirically based recommendations for educators seeking to improve their practice with Latino youth, stemming from a multiyear participatory action research project conducted by Jason Irizarry and the student contributors to the text.
