Reading Time - Catherine Compton Lilly - Bog - Teachers' College Press - Plusbog.dk

Reading Time - Catherine Compton Lilly - Bog - Teachers' College Press - Plusbog.dk

While teachers cannot travel back in time to visit their students at earlier ages, they can draw on the rich sets of experiences and knowledge that students bring to classrooms. In her latest book, Catherine Compton-Lilly examines the literacy practices and school trajectories of eight middle school students and their families. Through a unique longitudinal lens--the author has studied these same students from first grade--we see how students from a low-income, inner-city community grow and develop academically, revealing critical insights for teachers about literacy development, identity construction, and school achievement.

Failing at School - Camille A. Farrington - Bog - Teachers' College Press - Plusbog.dk

Failing at School - Camille A. Farrington - Bog - Teachers' College Press - Plusbog.dk

About half of all incoming ninth graders in urban districts will fail classes and drop out of school without a diploma. Failing at School starts with the premise that urban American high schools generate such widespread student failure not because of some fault of the students who attend them but because high schools were designed to stratify achievement and let only the top performers advance to higher levels of education. This is particularly true for low-income, racial/ethnic minority students. To get different results, Farrington proposes fundamental changes based on what we now know about how students learn, what motivates them to engage in learning, and what kinds of educational systems and structures would best support their learning.

Giving Our Children a Fighting Chance - Susan B. Neuman - Bog - Teachers' College Press - Plusbog.dk

Giving Our Children a Fighting Chance - Susan B. Neuman - Bog - Teachers' College Press - Plusbog.dk

This is a compelling, eye-opening portrait of two communities in Philadelphia with drastically different economic resources. Over the course of their 10-year investigation, the authors of this important new work came to understand that this disparity between affluence and poverty has created a knowledge gap—far more important than mere achievement scores—with serious implications for students’ economic prosperity and social mobility. At the heart of this knowledge gap is the limited ability of students from poor communities to develop information capital. This moving book takes you into the communities in question to meet the students and their families, and by doing so provides powerful insights into the role that literacy can play in giving low-income students a fighting chance.

The Indispensable Guide to Undergraduate Research - Anne H. Charity Hudley - Bog - Teachers' College Press - Plusbog.dk

The Indispensable Guide to Undergraduate Research - Anne H. Charity Hudley - Bog - Teachers' College Press - Plusbog.dk

Despite all of the information that exists to encourage students to attend and do well in college, this is the first research-based guide that directly advises first- and second-year college students. With a focus on the needs and interests of students who are underrepresented in the academy (African American, Latinx, low-income, and first-generation students), this book will help all students take full advantage of the academic resources that the university setting has to offer. The authors introduce students to different types of research across the disciplines, showing them how to work with professors to build a course of study, how to integrate research work into coursework, and how to write and present research. This timely volume will also assist faculty, staff, and parents in providing the needed tools to promote student success. Visit the book website at undergraduateresearchguide.com.
