Book excerpt: The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study was to investigate the factors that contribute to the retention of urban, Hispanic high school male graduates in East Harlem, New York. Originated through the works by W. E. B. Du Bois (1968), Gloria Ladson-Billings (1998) and Derrick Bell (1992) pioneered Critical Race Theory (CRT), which reported that the United States Education system has historically failed to adequately provide access to all students. Hispanics continue to have the lowest rates of high school and college degree attainment. This study’s purpose was to address the phenomenon of low retention rates of urban, Hispanic males by identifying influences on the participants’ abilities to overcome family and non-family risk factors. For the purpose of this study, 10 participants were bounded by their socioeconomic status (SES), ethnicity, age, gender, residential address (residents of East Harlem, New York), and successful completion of high school. The following research questions guided the study: What factors do Hispanic adult male graduates indicate contributed to their successful completion of high school? How do Hispanic adult male graduates perceive the personal characteristics that helped them overcome their challenges to high school completion? How did relationships with teachers, families, churches and coaches assist Hispanic adult male graduates in achieving their goals? Data collection consisted of informal, semi-structured, audio-recorded individual interviews, a focus group, and document analysis. Through the voices of the participants, relationships, effective support structures and social-emotional support emerged as themes. The results of this study will potentially assist policymakers and educators in identifying the urgency of providing systemic reform to increase achievement of Hispanic males.
Book Synopsis Latinization of U.S. Schools by : Jason Irizarry

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fueled largely by significant increases in the Latino population, the racial, ethnic, and linguistic texture of the United States is changing rapidly. Nowhere is this 'Latinisation' of America more evident than in schools. The dramatic population growth among Latinos in the United States has not been accompanied by gains in academic achievement. Estimates suggest that approximately half of Latino students fail to complete high school, and few enroll in and complete college. The Latinization of U.S. Schools centres 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 Irizarry and the student contributors to the text.

Book excerpt: This qualitative multiple case study investigated the impact of grade-level retention on the academic performance of seven high-school Hispanic students. In addition, this study examined the participants' perceptions regarding the interrelationships among low academic achievement, grade-level retention, and dropping out of high school and found that grade-level retention did not diminish academic achievement overall nor did it result in dropping out within the context of a continuation high school. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews with seven Hispanic high school students and their seven Hispanic parents, six high school teachers, one guidance counselor and one principal. In addition, data were analyzed from quantitative sources such as: (a) report cards; (b) California Standards Tests (CST) reports; (c) Student Information System (SIS) documentation indicating program participation in special education, English language development (ELD), or academic intervention; (d) California English Language Development Test (CELDT) reports; and (e) California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) reports. Within case and cross case analyses were employed. The findings indicated that due to the nature of the alternative education setting, the structural interventions employed, and the personal investment of educators, grade level retention positively affected the seven Hispanic students' academic achievement and increased their motivation to graduate from high school. In addition, many cultural factors that affected Hispanic students' academic achievement were revealed such as value of family, the fulfillment of interdependent family roles, and the reproduction of social norms. Institutional factors that affected Hispanic students' academic achievement were also discovered. These included teacher expectations, school connectedness, and culturally sensitive and adaptable programs. In addition, the findings indicated that, while increased student achievement was noted for the seven Hispanic participants in the alternative education setting, there were many problematic and stigmatizing factors related to retention of Hispanic students in traditional high schools that yield negative effects on academic achievement and increase the likelihood of dropping out. These included the lack of effective remedial intervention programs and the social stigma resulting from the age differences between retained students and their peers.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Census data and research studies have shown that the Hispanic population in the United States and in the state of Texas is the subpopulation whose workforce is the least educated, has the highest high school dropout rates, has the highest number of individuals and households living in poverty, and is projected to be the largest subpopulation (in the U.S. and TX) by 2050 (Finn & Sousa, 2014; Kelly, 2005; Murdock, 2014; National Center for Education Statistics, 2012b; National Center for Education Statistics, 2014; Noguera, 2008). By closing the achievement gap between White and Hispanic high school students and improving the high school graduation rate of the Hispanic population, Hispanics will be placed in a position of acquiring better employment, improving their income, and possibly moving out of poverty status. The purpose of this qualitative research study was to analyze data from Hispanic students about their perceptions of classroom instructional strategies and factors outside of the classroom that enabled or prevented them from being successful in each of their core subject courses (chemistry, geometry, English II, world history) during their sophomore year in a Texas urban high school. Two focus groups were formed: one group which proved to be successful in their chemistry course and a second group of students who failed the course. The data gathered were analyzed using first and second cycle qualitative coding methods and organized on tables to determine the frequency in which specific instructional strategies were mentioned and identified as being an effective or ineffective strategy in learning for each of the two focus groups. Data concerning any perceived outside factors affecting the participants’ success in the core subject courses were also gathered, analyzed, and organized on tables. The data gathered from each focus group were then compared to each other in order to determine similarities and differences in the frequency of effective and ineffective teaching strategies mentioned. Data concerning possible outside factors that influenced passing or failing the core subjects were also identified and compared, in order to ascertain potential trends within each focus group and between the two focus groups. The data obtained from this study support research stressing the importance of the availability of professional development for teachers in order to improve instructional techniques and manage classroom behavior. The results further revealed concerns about student preference for direct instruction which limits student exposure to instructional strategies that would ultimately develop the 21st century skills needed to compete in today’s job market. This further emphasizes the need for campus leaders to develop, monitor, and support teachers in an effort to successfully implement best instructional strategies in all classes. The study does not support the need for teachers to incorporate information related to the history and culture of Hispanic students into classroom lessons in order for them to better relate to the material being taught and improve their performance in their courses; the findings support a need for teachers and campus leaders to become knowledgeable of Hispanic cultures in order to provide Hispanic students with the motivation, academic guidance, and emotional support needed to ensure their academic success. Finally, analyses of data within and between both focus groups revealed that the instructional strategies used by the teachers in the four core subjects neither helped nor hindered student performance in any of the four core subjects.

This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics and the Future of America presents details of the complex story of a population that varies in many dimensions, including national origin, immigration status, and generation. The papers in this volume draw on a wide variety of data sources to describe the contours of this population, from the perspectives of history, demography, geography, education, family, employment, economic well-being, health, and political engagement. They provide a rich source of information for researchers, policy makers, and others who want to better understand the fast-growing and diverse population that we call "Hispanic." The current period is a critical one for getting a better understanding of how Hispanics are being shaped by the U.S. experience. This will, in turn, affect the United States and the contours of the Hispanic future remain uncertain. The uncertainties include such issues as whether Hispanics, especially immigrants, improve their educational attainment and fluency in English and thereby improve their economic position; whether growing numbers of foreign-born Hispanics become citizens and achieve empowerment at the ballot box and through elected office; whether impending health problems are successfully averted; and whether Hispanics' geographic dispersal accelerates their spatial and social integration. The papers in this volume provide invaluable information to explore these issues.
