Beskrivning
This book is a comprehensive guide for educators and policy makers who are ready to create schools for Latinos (particularly Mexican Americans), such that students will be successful in learning and achieving in K-12 grades and college and help to advance society in the 21st century. The contents address how to redefine schools for a new century and goes well beyond school reform. It speaks to educators on adopting a positive mindset, one that sees Latinos with assets, not deficits and on expanding the school’s purpose to serve not just students but the local community. The author also emphasizes how to gain better understanding about Latino students and families, to lose stereotypic thinking, to engage families and local community resources in a more productive way, to gather information and help evaluate school/program effectiveness (and not just testing students on standardized test), and how schools can help themselves develop much needed financial and human resources.

Recensioner i media

“The revised edition of Dr. Valverde’s Latino K-12 School: Designed for Student Success is a very timely and significant contribution that critically informs the major educational challenge facing a great many of our nation’s public schools—more effectively educating Mexican American/Latino students, a group that who will grow to be the majority in many states and local communities throughout this country. School board members, legislators and other policy-makers can directly benefit from Dr. Valverde’s critical insights on the dysfunctional ‘reform’ focused efforts of the past ; his recommendations regarding integration of assessment as a diagnostic tool to guide and inform student learning; his perspective that re-design requires a reaching out to Latino parents and communities as partners in achieving educational success for all students; and, the author’s informed recommendations that schools focus on ‘creative use’ of available time and resources, and more effectively and creatively integrating technology in instruction. Finally state policy makers must recognize and accept the author’s perspective that effective re-design requires the investment of resources to convert these ideas and practices into realities, and that failure to move forward portends education and economic anemia for decades to come.”
