The fact that 30% of all high school students and 50% of African
American, Latina/o, and Native American students fail to graduate
from high school is grounds for alarm in the United States. The
Time Is Now argues that understanding and responding to the dropout
crisis facing the United States has overlooked one major element -
school culture. Using the PUEDES approach as an analytical
framework, this book highlights how schools matter and, in fact,
hold many of the solutions that contribute to student engagement
and disengagement in school, particularly among low-income students
of color. Drawing on more than 10 years of school-based research in
Boston, Miami, and Southern California, a 10-Point Plan is
proposed. The book provides a practical theory of action aimed at
challenging the ways schools and communities work together to
transform education practice, policy, and, ultimately, student
engagement and achievement, particularly among African American and
Latina/o students across the United States.
