Academic Profiling Latinos Asian Americans And The Achievement Gap Gilda L Ochoa by Gilda L. Ochoa 9780816687398, 0816687390 instant download after payment.

Today the achievement gap is hotly debated among
pundits, politicians, and educators. In particular this conversation
often focuses on the two fastest-growing demographic groups in the
United States: Asian Americans and Latinos. In Academic Profiling,
Gilda L. Ochoa addresses this so-called gap by going directly to the
source. At one California public high school where the controversy is
lived every day, Ochoa turns to the students, teachers, and parents to
learn about the very real disparities—in opportunity, status, treatment,
and assumptions—that lead to more than just gaps in achievement.
In
candid and at times heart-wrenching detail, the students tell stories
of encouragement and neglect on their paths to graduation. Separated by
unequal middle schools and curriculum tracking, they are divided by
race, class, and gender. While those channeled into an International
Baccalaureate Program boast about Socratic classes and stress-release
sessions, students left out of such programs commonly describe
uninspired teaching and inaccessible counseling. Students unequally
labeled encounter differential policing and assumptions based on their
abilities—disparities compounded by the growth in the private tutoring
industry that favors the already economically privileged.
Despite the entrenched inequality in today’s schools, Academic Profiling
finds hope in the many ways students and teachers are affirming
identities, creating alternative spaces, and fostering critical
consciousness. When Ochoa shares the results of her research with the
high school, we see the new possibilities—and limits—of change.
