| Summary |
"Drawing on participatory action research conducted with students, parents, families, and school staff in a Southwest community in the United States, this volume contests the achievement gap for students of Mexican-descent in the American education system, and highlights asset-based approaches to facilitating students' academic success. By presenting the Asset-Based Bicultural Continuum Model (ABBC) and demonstrating the applications in a variety of family, school, and community-based initiatives, this volume demonstrates how community and cultural wealth can be harnessed to increase educational opportunities and attainment for Latino students. The ABBC model offers new strategies which capitalise on the bicultural and linguistic assets rooted in local communities and offers place-based strategies driven by communities themselves which are tailored to students' strengths. The text makes a significant contribution to understanding the social ecology of Latinx students' experiences and offers a new direction for effective and evidence-based academic and health programs across the United States. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers and academics with an interest in the sociology of education, multicultural education, urban and bilingual education. It will be of particular interest to those with a focus on Hispanic and Latino studies"-- Provided by publisher. |
