Many would argue that the state of urban science education has been
static for the past several decades and that there is little to
learn from it. Rather than accepting this deficit perspective,
Improving Urban Science Education strives to recognize and
understand the successes that exist there by systematically
documenting seven years of research into issues salient to teaching
and learning in urban high school science classes. Grounded in the
post structuralism of William Sewell_and brought to life through
the experiences of different students, teachers, and school
settings in Philadelphia_this book shows how teachers and students
can work together to enact meaningful science education when social
and cultural differences as well as inappropriate curricula often
make the challenges seem insurmountable. Chapters contain rich
images of urban youth and each strives to offer insights into
problems and suggestions for resolving them. Most significant, in
spite of the challenges, the research offers hope and shows that
fresh approaches to teaching and learning can lead students_some
who have already been pronounced academic, even societal,
failures_to becoming avid and deep learners of science.
