Issues in Educating African American Children and Youth
by Robert J. Jagers & Grace Carroll - 2002The issues considered in this chapter overlap with concerns for all
students. For example, the issues of educating the whole child, the role
of teachers, and school choice, which we will address below, are part of
the educational discussion in all segments of American society. However,
our focus will be specifically on the schooling of urban African
American children, because of their unique experience of racial oppression
and the distinct cultural adaptations that occur in inner-city environments.
We begin the chapter with a cursory treatment of race, class,
culture, and learning outcomes.To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropriate membership. Please review your options below: | This article originally appeared as NSSE Yearbook Vol. 101, No. 2. |
