Defining Student Success: The Role Of School And Culture (Rutgers Series In Childhood Studies)

A provocative work that will prompt a thorough reevaluation of the culture of secondary education, Defining Student Success shows how different schools, promoting modified versions of larger cultural ideas of success, foster distinct understandings of what it takes to succeed--understandings that do more to reproduce a socioeconomic status quo than to promote upward mobility.
