This important book provides African American parents with the
knowledge to diversify K-12 school choices beyond traditional
neighborhood public schools in order to optimize the educational
chances of their own children, and it will help educators and
policymakers to close the black-white academic achievement gap
throughout America. Closing the K-12 achievement gap is critical to
the future welfare of African American individuals, families, and
communities-and to the future of our nation as a whole. The
black-white academic achievement gap-the significant statistical
difference in academic performance between African American
students and their white peers-is the single greatest impediment to
achieving racial equality and social justice in America. Black
Educational Choice provides parents, citizens, educators, and
policymakers the critical knowledge they need to leverage the
national trend toward increasing and diversifying K-12 school
choice beyond traditional neighborhood public schools. Parents can
use this information to optimize the success of their own African
American children, while policymakers and educators can apply these
insights to help close the black-white academic achievement gap
throughout America. The book collects the interdisciplinary,
multi-racial, and multi-ethnic perspectives of education experts to
address the questions of millions of anxious African American
families: "Would sending our children to a private school or a
charter school significantly better their chances of closing the
achievement gap and becoming successful individuals? And if so,
what kinds of challenges would they likely experience in these
alternative educational settings?" Contributions from distinguished
scholars and their apprentices from education and other diverse
fields in the social and behavioral sciences
