Synopsis

As a result of multiple unfavorable circumstances, public schools have been unable to effectively educate Americas most disadvantaged student population—Latinos. In this book, author Leonard Valverde contends that it is imperative to reinvent schools in order to provide a viable education for these students. Improving Schools for Latinos starts with the past, points out the present, and speaks to the future. It exposes the negative mental models and practices that must be discarded and proposes what favorable elements need to be put into place.

Features:
·An outline of what future Latino schools must look like
·A focus on organizing, leading, and governing schools to create equitable relationships and democratic institutions
·A comprehensive view and understanding about school and classrooms
·Helpful resources for program assistance, community-based organizations, funding sources, and more
