Contents Foreword / Martin V. Covington -- Life in an urban classroom: where dreams and realities collide -- Personal journey of a teacher: Karen's story -- Developing teaching strategies that honor and motivate diverse learners -- Culture of the school -- Teacher action research -- Realizing student potential with alternative strategies -- What gets in the way of student success? -- Taking on the role of detective: teacher's response to struggling students -- Turning student aspirations into realities.
Summary 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 (their high performance aspirations) and the realities of their classroom performance.
