Book excerpt: How do race and class intersect to shape the identities and experiences of Black middle-class parents and their children? What are Black middle-class parents’ strategies for supporting their children through school? What role do the educational histories of Black middle-class parents play in their decision-making about their children’s education? There is now an extensive body of research on the educational strategies of the white middle classes but a silence exists around the emergence of the Black middle classes and their experiences, priorities, and actions in relation to education. This book focuses on middle-class families of Black Caribbean heritage. Drawing on rich qualitative data from nearly 80 in-depth interviews with Black Caribbean middle-class parents, the internationally renowned contributors reveal how these parents attempt to navigate their children successfully through the school system, and defend them against low expectations and other manifestations of discrimination. Chapters identify when, how and to what extent parents deploy the financial, cultural and social resources available to them as professional, middle class individuals in support of their children’s academic success and emotional well-being. The book sheds light on the complex, and relatively neglected relations, between race, social class and education, and in addition, poses wider questions about the experiences of social mobility, and the intersection of race and class in forming the identity of the parents and their children. The Colour of Class: The educational strategies of the Black middle classes will appeal to undergraduates and postgraduates on education, sociology and social policy courses, as well as academics with an interest in Critical Race Theory and Bourdieu. The Colour of Class was awarded 2nd prize by the Society for Educational Studies: Book Prize 2016.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study is to investigate parental involvement on the student's educational attainment in High School. Previous research has that parent involvement is related to educational outcomes for children of young ages but there has not been as much research on high school aged children. It is anticipated that a strong, positive parent-child relationship and high parent(s) expectations for the child will be associated with successful educational attainment as measured by receiving a high school diploma Data from the Educational Longitudinal Study: 2002. Logistic regression was used to analyze whether or not the student graduated from high school. The outcome variable is whether or not the student graduated from high school and the predictor variable consists of different elements of parental involvement. This study will help contribute to the literature already in existence aiming to portray positive results, rather than negative ones, for the poor African American community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the various ways in which parental involvement can help to increase student academic success. More specifically, this analysis is based on the notions that: 1) parent involvement in inner city schools present unique challenges that are different from the traditional middle class perspective; 2) there is value in a cooperative approach between parents, teachers, and administrators that places the student at the center of each major discussion and decision; and 3) illustrates that parental involvement is a real perspective and not just rhetorical jargon. Although the focus of this book is in increasing parent involvement in inner city schools, readers must be mindful that the ultimate objective for this work and others like it is the successful educating of all children, so that they graduate from high school, and move into higher education, or into the workforce. Parent involvement by itself will not ensure academic success of children, but, combined with many strategies, including a clear understanding of the differences between an inner city school environment and a middle class school setting, effective teaching, sound and relevant curricula, safe and secure learning environment, and visionary leadership, children attending inner city schools can be just as effective as those in middle class school settings.

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 IMPROVING SCHOOLS FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS written by Sheryl J. Denbo and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving Schools for African American Students is designed to provide educational leaders with a better understanding of how to recognize the diversity of strengths that Black students bring with them to school and how to use these strengths to improve achievement. The articles contained in this book discuss generic education issues such as policy reform, the importance of high quality teaching, and the improvement of schools from the perspective of the academic achievement of African American students. Part I explores institutional racism in the context of America's public schools and provides suggestions for educational leaders to eliminate harmful policies and practices within educational institutions and settings. Part II discusses the kinds of institutional and instructional changes that are needed to support successful schooling of African American children and youth. Part III focuses on the challenges presented to African American students by the current high stakes testing environment that surrounds standards, assessment, and accountability. A review of the literature on schools that have succeeded in improving achievement for African American students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels with districts moving towards narrowing the achievement gap is included. This text examines a wide variety of policies, programs, practices, and research that will provide valuable insight. The emphasis throughout the book is on the ability of educators to successfully restructure their schools, offer high quality teaching and learning standards for African American students and to make the kinds of changes that will result in high achievement for all students.

Download or read book African American Parents' Involvement in Their Adolescent Children's Urban High School Experiences written by Kim V. Rhone and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The myth of low to no African American parent involvement can be attributed, in part, to a perception of their limited presence in schools, especially at the high school level (Barton, Drake, Gustavo-Perez, St. Louis & George, 2004). Often, teachers declare that African American parents' do not care about their children's education (Archer-Banks & Behar-Horenstein, 2008). African American parents counter this stereotype by arguing that schools are unwelcoming spaces (Henderson, Mapp, Johnson, & Davies, 2007). Moreover, scholars suggest that the ways African American families support the academic achievement of their teenage children often go unnoticed by teachers who are more accustomed to middle class approaches to parent involvement (Kim, 2009; Hornby & Lafaele, 2011). Scholarship reveals that both individual and institutional barriers contribute to the perceived lack or low involvement of African American parents in their teenage children's urban high schools. The purpose of this dissertation research is to explore how the parents of African American high school students identify and negotiate the individual and institutional barriers to their active involvement in their teenage children's schools. The guiding research questions reads: How do African American parents identify and negotiate the individual and institutional barriers to their active participation in their adolescent children's urban high schools? This narrative inquiry consists of interviews with twelve African American parents and grandparents across different urban high schools, including public and charter schools, in Philadelphia, PA. Analysis of the interview data reveals three findings: 1) Contrary to common misperceptions, African American parents are involved in their children's education in ways that are consistent with traditional forms of parent involvement; 2) African American parents identify and negotiate barriers to their children's education by way of their culture; and 3) African American parents identify and negotiate barriers to their children's education by choosing to enroll their adolescents in charter schools. These findings are largely consistent with previous studies, and serve to further advance research on African American family involvement with adolescent children in urban high schools. Recommendations for future research and practices offer direction on how to recognize and support African American family involvement.
