Book Description
Testimony on strategies designed to enhance educational opportunities for disadvantaged students is recorded in this report of a congressional hearing. Robert Slavin of the Early and Elementary School Program, Center for Research on Effective Schooling for Disadvantaged Students at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore (Maryland) testified about the development and achievements of the Success for All Program. Leetta Allen-Haynes of the College of Education at the University of New Orleans (Louisiana) testified about the Louisiana Accelerated Schools, a program that works for disadvantaged students by, in part, trying to change the culture of schools themselves. The final witness was Sidney Smith, Headmaster of the Boston (Massachusetts) English High School, who testified about the program at his school and in particular the key role of rigorous student assessments for increasing academic achievement among disadvantaged students. Discussion followed the formal testimony and touched on the following issues: fostering family involvement in education, comprehensive social service delivery at school-sites, staff development and teacher education, financial resources, assessment driven practices, perceptions of urban students, educational technology, and school desegregation. The witnesses' prepared statements are included. (JB)

Book Description
An NPR Favorite Book of the Year “Breaks new ground on social and educational questions of great import.” —Washington Post “An essential work, humane and candid, that challenges and expands our understanding of the lives of contemporary college students.” —Paul Tough, author of Helping Children Succeed “Eye-opening...Brings home the pain and reality of on-campus poverty and puts the blame squarely on elite institutions.” —Washington Post “Jack’s investigation redirects attention from the matter of access to the matter of inclusion...His book challenges universities to support the diversity they indulge in advertising.” —New Yorker The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors—and their coffers—to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In this bracing exposé, Anthony Jack shows that many students’ struggles continue long after they’ve settled in their dorms. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This powerfully argued book documents how university policies and campus culture can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why some students are harder hit than others.
