商品簡介
Focusing on the reasons for success in student performance rather than failure, Padilla (education and human development, U. of Texas at San Antonio) presents a framework for understanding student success and how it can be improved and replicated. He presents a general model and one for specific, local situations and how they have been applied in a minority high school, community college, and Hispanic-Serving University, and to compare high-performing and non-high-performing elementary schools. Chapters address the characteristics of students, teachers, and the school, its resources, and barriers to success. These chapters are based on the doctoral research of additional contributors who were Padilla's former students. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
