63.043 - Improving College-Going for Black and Latino Young Men: Evidence From New York City's Expanded Success Initiative
Sun, April 19, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Swissotel, Floor: Event Centre First Level, Zurich FSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
From the White House’s My Brother’s Keeper to local initiatives around the country, there is growing attention being paid to increasing college going among young men of color. In New York City, the Expanded Success Initiative (ESI) was designed to improve college readiness rates among their Black and Latino male students by providing schools targeted resources and professional development particularly in culturally relevant education. This symposium will present evidence from a comprehensive evaluation of ESI that explores how the initiative is changing school practice and impacting teachers and students. The findings from these four papers will highlight specific ways schools and educators can support the educational achievement of Black and Latino males on their paths towards graduation and post-secondary success.
