Schooling for Resilience ― Improving the Life Trajectory of Black and Latino Boys

This study of seven single-sex public schools around the country sheds light on both the limits and possibilities of single-sex education for Black and Latino boys. The study details strategies for building community, reconstructing social identities, and creating protective school environments. In addition to describing school structures, implementation, and results, the book offers special focus on the theory-of-change underlying the philosophies of each school. The authors conclude that because founders of these schools have not had a body of research to guide their efforts, their intervention strategies have not always been successful. Appendices give data and descriptions of each school studied. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
