Abstract | Foreword by H. Rchard Milner IV -- Urban preparation: an introduction -- Improving urban education for young black men and boys / with Derrick R Brooms -- Living and learning on the South Side of Chicago -- UP years 1 and 2: schooling environment -- UP years 3 and 4: preparation for college -- College transition, persistence, and completion -- Reimagining the P-20 education pipeline for young black men and boys / with Derrick R. Brooms -- Recommendations for contemporary urban education reform -- Appendix: research methods -- Afterword by James Earl Davis. Chezare A. Warren chronicles the transition of a cohort of young Black males from Urban Prep Charter Academy for Young Men to their early experiences in higher education. A rich and closely observed account of a mission-driven school and its students, Urban Preparation makes a significant contribution to our understanding of how young males of color can best be served in schools throughout the United States today. A founding teacher at Urban Prep, Warren offers a detailed exploration of what this single-sex public high school on the South Side of Chicago has managed to accomplish amid profoundly challenging circumstances. He provides a rich portrait of the school--its leaders, teachers, and professional staff; its students; and the community that the school aims to serve--and highlights how preparation for higher education is central to its mission. Warren focuses on three main goals: to describe Urban Prep's plans and efforts to prepare young Black males for college; to understand how race, community, poverty, and the school contributed, in complex and interrelated ways, to the academic goals of these students; and to offer a wide-ranging set of conclusions about the school environments and conditions that might help young Black males throughout the country succeed in high school and college--Provided by Publisher. |
