Book Synopsis Standing Outside on the Inside by : Olga M. Welch
Download or read book Standing Outside on the Inside written by Olga M. Welch and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1997-03-20 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when increased emphasis is placed on pre-college preparation of disadvantaged students, the number of African American students entering colleges and universities continues to decline and the achievement gaps between these students and their White peers persist. While many enrichment programs report impressive gains, little research on these programs contains the perspective of the Black students. This book presents the results of a longitudinal study of academic achievement and pre-college enrichment of disadvantaged African American adolescents in two inner-city high schools. Through its presentation and analysis of the students' perceptions of pre-college enrichment seen in relation to their definitions of scholarship and the discussion of findings related to parent and teacher involvement, this book provides fresh perspectives on the school experiences of Black adolescents and offers important insights for those involved in both the development and evaluation of enrichment programs.

Download or read book Blacked Out written by Signithia Fordham and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1996-03-13 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative portrait of student life in an urban high school focuses on the academic success of African-American students, exploring the symbolic role of academic achievement within the Black community and investigating the price students pay for attaining it. Signithia Fordham's richly detailed ethnography reveals a deeply rooted cultural system that favors egalitarianism and group cohesion over the individualistic, competitive demands of academic success and sheds new light on the sources of academic performance. She also details the ways in which the achievements of sucessful African-Americans are "blacked out" of the public imagination and negative images are reflected onto black adolescents. A self-proclaimed "native" anthropologist, she chronicles the struggle of African-American students to construct an identity suitable to themselves, their peers, and their families within an arena of colliding ideals. This long-overdue contribution is of crucial importance to educators, policymakers, and ethnographers.

Book Synopsis Young, Gifted, and Black by : Theresa Perry
Download or read book Young, Gifted, and Black written by Theresa Perry and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2004-02-02 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An important and powerful book” that radically reframes the debates swirling around the academic achievement of African-American students (Boston Review) “The solutions offered by each essay are creative, inspirational, and good old common sense." —Los Angeles Times In 3 separate but allied essays, African-American scholars Theresa Perry, Claude Steele, and Asa Hilliard examine the alleged ‘achievement gap’ between Black and white students. Each author addresses how the unique social and cultural position Black students occupy—in a society which often devalues and stereotypes African-American identity—fundamentally shapes students’ experience of school and sets up unique obstacles. Young, Gifted and Black provides an understanding of how these forces work, opening the door to practical, powerful methods for promoting high achievement at all levels. In the first piece, Theresa Perry argues that the dilemmas African-American students face are rooted in the experience of race and ethnicity in America, making the task of achievement distinctive and difficult. Claude Steele follows up with 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. Finally, Asa Hilliard argues against a variety of false theories and misguided views of African-American achievement, sharing examples of real schools, programs, and teachers around the country that allow African-American students to achieve at high levels. Now more than ever, Young, Gifted and Black is an eye-opening work that has the power to not only change how we talk and think about African-American student achievement but how we view the African-American experience as a whole.
Download or read book Black Students written by Gordon L. Berry and published by Corwin. This book was released on 1989-11 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are so many Black students prematurely leaving school? What factors can be attributed toward academic achievement of Black students? Should teachers be less concerned with curriculum content and more sensitive to the social and psychological needs during child development? The authors argue that academic achievement for Black students is influenced not only by circumstances found in the individual or family and school settings, but by a whole host of factors. Social and economic environments, the development of the self-concept, peer pressure, personal attributes such as resources, skills and motivation--these are a few of the many factors contributing towards a person's ability to achieve academically. Black Students brings together current research to address these factors from a variety of perspectives and covers the full educational cycle from kindergarten through the college years. The majority of past research on academic achievement of Black students has placed blame on the individual or credited failure toward an incapability to succeed. Berry and Asamen's mission is to shift away from this narrow perspective and to look more holistically at the issues. In addition the book provides some specific programmatic directions for enhancing the academic experiences of Black students. "The editors conceptualized and produced an important, informative, issue-oriented book with contributions by prestigious, involved scholars in education, the social sciences, and mental health. . . . Recommendations for policy and programmatic changes are included, along with directions for future research." --Choice "All in all, this book was well conceived and succeeds in its high ideals of offering a useful, womanlike contribution to the riddle of the causes of under achievement of black Americans and ultimately of all black people of the diaspora; intuitively understood by all who know anything of the history of their experience, but yet to be coherently deciphered." --Education Today "Informative and thought provoking. Berry and Asamen make the reader painfully aware of the many casualties and losses of black youth, particularly low income black youth within today's educational system. . . . [It] explores the societal factors that inhibit or can enhance the academic achievement of low income black students. Black Students affirmed some of my own beliefs and provided new information." --Association for Women in Psychology Newsletter "A book written by people who obviously care about Black education. Moreover, it is difficult to take exception to Berry's conclusion that Blacks need an educational system which offers equity and excellence." --British Educational Research Journal.
Book Synopsis Afrocentric Identity and High School Students' Perception of Academic Achievement by : Denise W. Coley
Download or read book Afrocentric Identity and High School Students' Perception of Academic Achievement written by Denise W. Coley and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American students have historically been labeled as underachievers in the arena of education (Battin-Pearson, Newcomb, Abbot, Hill, Catalano & Hawkins, 2000; Entwisle, 1990; Mickelson, 1990; Kazdin, 1993). Numerous explanations such as education being seen primarily as a White domain, that African Americans who strive to achieve an education are often seen as not being Black enough or that Blacks will be rejected by their peers and community for wanting to be "White" (Fordham & Ogbu, 1986), have been suggested to explain the underachievement of African American students. Others have questioned if the poor performance demonstrated by African American students might be attributed to problems with students' lack of connection with their Afrocentric/racial identity (Datnow & Cooper, 1997; O'Connor, 1997; Sellers, Chavous & Cooke, 1998; Taylor, Casten, Flickinger, Robert & Fulmore, 1994). This study examined three research questions: (1) Is there a relationship between Black students' Afrocentric identity and academic achievement? (2) Is there a relationship between Black students' academic self-concept as related to their racial identity? (3) Is there a relationship between Afrocentric identity and students' desire to attend college? Participants included 84 Black high school senior adolescents from local high schools. Participants were asked to complete four measures to examine racial identity, academic self-concept and academic achievement. The results indicated that there was a significant correlation between racial identity (internalization stage) and academic self-concept. While there was a significant correlation between racial identity and academic self-concept, GPA scores appeared to be a better predictor of academic achievement. Results also indicated that awareness of one's identity, affirmation of Black life, and the development of Black people had a negative impact on one's overall academic performance (GPA). These findings raised issues about racial identity and the desire to achieve academically among African American high school seniors.
