Inclusion in Urban Educational Environments (Pb) Denise E Armstrong

Marc Notes: Avail. in cloth.; Includes bibliographical references. Publisher Marketing: This book is motivated by our experiences in working with students andtheir families in urban communities. We are particularly concernedabout the urgent imperative to address the endemic educational andsocietal challenges that pervade the lives of urban students, particularlythose who live in poverty, are of minority and immigrant backgrounds, and are otherwise marginalized within the current educationaldiscourses and practices. In spite of the fact that over the last 3decades, policy makers, educators and communities across the globehave called for in depth structural changes, this is rarely evidenced inthe discourses, practices, and structures within academic andpractitioner spheres
