This timely book demonstrates why there needs to be a more
thoughtful and collaborative effort on the part of K-12 schools, as
well as institutions of higher education, to provide better college
access to students from low-income communities. Building on a
10-year case study of a successful school-university partnership,
the authors examine the supports, mentoring, and resources needed
to transform the college opportunities and life chances for
under-represented urban youth. Featuring first-hand accounts from
student participants, the book documents how the model provided
college access to some of the most selective and prestigious
universities across the nation. Because this partnership situates
college access within a social justice framework, it is one of the
more unique programs in the country. Book Features: Shows what
successful partnerships look like when schools and districts work
with common goals and outcomes. Documents an approach that
identifies promising students early in their high school careers.
Emphasizes college access with a commitment to social justice,
equity, and investment in schools and communities. Focuses on
student perspectives to identify mentoring and high school
resources that make a difference in their college pursuit. Includes
viewpoints of university personnel and parents about the impact of
the program on students.
