College and career readiness is essential to promoting the success
of all students. Educational and economic changes in today's
society demands well thought out strategies for preparing students
to survive academically, socially, and financially in the future.
African American students are at a disadvantage in this strategic
planning process due to a long history of racism, injustice, and
marginalization. African American Students' Career and College
Readiness: The Journey Unraveled explores the historical, legal,
and socio-political issues of education affecting African American
students and their career and college readiness. Each chapter has
been written based on the authors' experience and passion for the
success of students in the African American population. Some of the
chapters will appear to be written in a more conversational and
idiomatic tone, whereas others are presented in a more erudite
format. Each chapter, however, presents a contextual portrayal of
the contemporary, and often dysfunctional, pattern of society's
approach to supporting this population. Contributors also present
progressive paradigms for future achievements. Through the pages of
this book, readers will understand and hopefully appreciate what
can be done to promote positive college bound self-efficacy,
procurement of resources in the high school to college transition,
exposure and access to college possibilities, and implications for
practice in school counseling, education leadership, and higher
education.
