by Pedro Noguera

 

Drawing on extensive research performed in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Richmond, Pedro Noguera demonstrates how school and student achievement in influenced by social forces such as demographic change, poverty, drug trafficking, violence, and social inequity. Readers will get a detailed glimpse into the lives of teachers and students working “against the odds” to succeed. Noguera sends a strong message to those who would have urban schools “shape up or shape down,” invest in the future of these students and schools, and we can reach the kind of achievement and success that typify only more privileged communities.
