Transforming Educational Experiences in Low-Income Communities
Full-service community schools aim to reduce educational inequality by addressing the multifaceted needs of low-income children and youth.

Using data from a qualitative case study, this article explores how social capital was manifested in an urban full-service community elementary schoo…

The specific reform highlighted is a comprehensive family and community engagement approach developed by researchers at the National Network of Partnership Schools (NNPS). The study’s findings suggest that dis…

The focal teachers volunteered to serve as leaders of a reading-focused community involvement activity as members of their schools’ improvement teams. Based on the focal teachers’ experiences, this article describes obstacles to…

To achieve this objective, 827 students in an urban school district in the Southeastern United States were surveyed. Interviews were conducted with a subset of the research population to enhance and aid in the interpretation of the questionnaire data. The analyses show …
Overcoming Obstacles
Previous studies have suggested that in response to occupational and educational discrimination based on race, many African American students have mentally withdrawn from the schooling process, as indicated by low levels of achievement and high levels of school dropout. By contrast, the present study's analysis of interview data collected from 28 African American urban eighthgraders indicates that some African American students with a high awaren…
