Academic Socialization of Young Black and Latino Children

Beschreibung

This book offers a strengths-based, family-focused approach to improving the educational performance and school experience of struggling Black and Latino students. The book discusses educational challenges faced by low-income families of color and the different strengths within Black and Latino family life that can affect these challenges. It focuses  building on these strengths within the children’s home environments that can serve as a foundation for subsequent learning. The chapters describe a wide range of family practices and beliefs, including development of interventions to support families that promote early language and literacy, early mathematics, and social skills. The chapters also present quantitative and/or qualitative studies using a strengths-based approach to parents’ socialization of their children’s early academic skills.

• Latino and Black parental resources, investments, and beliefs.
  
• Academic socialization in the homes of Black and Latino preschool children.
  
• Development of culturally-informed interventions to promote children’s school readiness skills.
  
• Family-school partnerships as a tool for improving educational opportunities.
  
• Directions for future research.
