• Intractable Self-Fulfilling Prophecies Fifty Years After Brown v. Board of Education

  1/1/04 - Weinstein, Rhona S., Gregory, Anne, Strambler, Michael J.

  The civil rights struggle for equal educational opportunity has yet to be achieved at the start of the 21st century. Inequality persists but problem and remedy are refrained from integrating schools, to ensuring equal access in resegregated settings, to closing the performance gap. As seen through ecological theory (R. S. Weinstein, 2002b), complex, multilayered, and interactive negative self-fulfilling prophecies create or perpetuate educational inequities and unequal outcomes. Society has...

  Paying the price: The impact of immigration raids on America's children

  1/5/09 - Randy Capps, Rosa Maria Castañeda, Ajay Chaudry, Robert Santos

  "The primary goal of this paper is to go beyond the human interest stories reported in the media and provide a factual basis for discussing the impact of worksite enforcement operations on children with undocumented parents. The study focuses on children because they have strong claims to the protection of society, especially when they are citizens and integrated into their schools and communities, and the United States is the only country they have known and consider home. They also warrant...

• Powerful Pedagogy: Learning Communities at Historically Black Colleges and Universities

  1/1/08 - Shapiro, Nancy S.

  A recent deluge of national studies and reports warns the United States that our future hangs in the balance because our educational system is failing our society. These studies cite projections that American competitiveness is at risk because we have failed to address a growing demographic inevitability—that the segment of the population that is growing the fastest is comprised of those students who are most at risk in our educational system. An expanding body of research (including the...

In September 2008, the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance’s released a practice guide entitled “Dropout Prevention.” Relying heavily on research studies that...

• Reversing the "standard" direction: Science emerging from the lives of African American students

  1/1/01 - Seiler, Gale

  Recognizing the persistent science achievement gap between inner-city African American students and students from mainstream, White society, this article suggests that the imposition of external standards on inner-city schools will do little to ameliorate this gap because such an approach fails to address the significance of the social and cultural lives of the students. Instead, it is suggested that the use of critical ethnographic research would enable educators to learn from the students...

• Standards and Equity

  1/1/04 - Muller, Chandra

  The article focuses on the amount and content of knowledge the students get from learning in schools and addresses the issue of equality in education. Certainly, a natural source of the tension between family and school is in the objective of education in their society. The common school is a source of standard and the family a source of difference. The common school is conceived to teach all students, including those from immigrant families, a common language and curriculum. Setting...
