商品簡介
Campos (education, U. of the Incarnate Word) helps teachers and administrators improve the educational opportunities and outcomes for Latino boys using an asset-based approach, rather than seeing them through deficits based on a middle-class, dominant-culture perspective. He explains how teachers can understand the Latino culture and the circumstances that influence Latino boys, build connections between students' backgrounds and experiences and academic goals, and plan activities that build on what they know and can do outside of school. He details why Latino boys need special attention; data trends associated with them and their cultural background; the role that physical, human, cultural, and social capital, stresses, and schools play in their achievement and education; instructional and school strategies to enhance their success; and specific programs that serve Latino youth.
