This comprehensive look at Chinese-heritage students' academic,
sociocultural, and emotional development in the public schools
examines pertinent educational theories; complex (even
inconvenient) realities; learning practices in and outside of
schools; and social, cultural, and linguistic complications in
their academic lives across diverse settings, homes, and
communities. Chinese-heritage students are by far the largest
ethnic group among Asian American and Asian Canadian communities,
but it is difficult to sort out their academic performance because
NAEP and most state/province databases lump all Asian students'
results together. To better understand why Chinese-heritage
learners range from academic role models to problematic students in
need of help, it is important to understand their hearts and minds
beyond test scores. This book is distinctive in building this
understanding by addressing the range of issues related to
Chinese-heritage K-12 students' languages, cultures, identities,
academic achievements, and challenges across North American
schools.
