<P style=""MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"" class=MsoNormal>Making use of the latest trends and statistics, <I>Educating Black Girls</I> is a guidebook that looks at the academic performances of African American girls from kindergarten through high school. This work dissects such issues as the disproportionate number of black girls suspended from school; the low expectations of teachers; and the small number of African American girls who pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It also offers more than 50 potential solutions for improving academic achievement. |
