STEM Education Reform in Urban High Schools gives a nuanced view of the obstacles marginalized students face in STEM education--and explores how schools can better support STEM learners. Reporting the results of a nine-year ethnographic study, the book chronicles the outcomes of various STEM education reforms in eight public high schools with nonselective admissions policies and high proportions of low-income and minoritized students: four schools in Denver, Colorado, and four in Buffalo, New York.

Produktbeschreibung
STEM Education Reform in Urban High Schools gives a nuanced view of the obstacles marginalized students face in STEM education--and explores how schools can better support STEM learners. Reporting the results of a nine-year ethnographic study, the book chronicles the outcomes of various STEM education reforms in eight public high schools with nonselective admissions policies and high proportions of low-income and minoritized students: four schools in Denver, Colorado, and four in Buffalo, New York. Through interviews with students, educators, and parents, as well as classroom and campus observations, Margaret A. Eisenhart and Lois Weis identify patterns in the educational paths of students who go on to great success in STEM occupations and those who do not. They discuss common mechanisms that undermine the stated goals of STEM programming as well as social and cultural constructs that exclude many minoritized students from the STEM pipeline. With an eye toward greater access to STEM learning, the authors show how lessons of past measures can inform future STEM initiatives. "Eisenhart and Weis compellingly demonstrate that good intentions are not enough to create sustainable and meaningful STEM reform. Their findings offer powerful insights into the support teachers need to teach new courses, the counseling high-achieving students need to prepare for STEM college enrollment and careers, and the structures and resources students need to develop in-depth knowledge of STEM subjects." --Laura W. Perna, Graduate School of Education Centennial Presidential Professor of Education and Vice Provost for Faculty, University of Pennsylvania "This careful and powerfully analytic double case study of educational provision and its results in student-learning careers sheds light on an enduring problem that makes deep educational change so difficult--that labels on the packages of new provisions often do not match what's inside each box." --Frederick Erickson, G. F. Kneller Professor of Anthropology and Education Emeritus, University of California, Los Angeles Margaret A. Eisenhart is University Distinguished Professor Emerita of Educational Foundations and Research Methodology at the University of Colorado Boulder. Lois Weis is State University of New York Distinguished Professor of Sociology of Education at the University at Buffalo.
