Description:
Making School Count reports on four years of classroom research in which alternative teaching strategies (designed to motivate under-achieving, inner-city, African-American middle school students) were used and evaluated. The book offers insights into the discrepancy between students' academic dreams and the realities of their classroom performance.
Expand description
Issues include: the authors' convictions that the disproportionate under-achievement of African-American students is the result of inappropriate teaching strategies, the prevalent use of a Eurocentric curriculum, and suggestions for how schools can bring about change from the ground up.
