The Poverty and Education Reader

A Call for Equity in Many Voices

Herausgeber: Gorski, Paul C.; Landsman, Julie

Beschreibung

The contributors to this book—teachers, students, parents, educational activists, and scholars—take on the prevalent deficit views of students and families in poverty. Rather than focusing on how to fix poor and working class youth, the contributors challenge us to acknowledge the ways these youth and their families are disenfranchised by educational policies and practices that deny them the opportunities enjoyed by their wealthier peers.
