Note:"Am I My Brother's Keeper? offers powerful insights into the challenges of implementing large-scale educational change. The book, chronicling the Expanded Success Initiative- a four-year study focused on improving the educational outcomes of fifteen thousand Black and Latinx males in New York City public high schools- covers what worked, what didn't, and what we can learn from the experience. Through the voices of students, teachers, and administrators, the book informs the implementation of other large-scale district-community partnerships designed to improve opportunities and outcomes for young people who have systematically been denied both. Most critically, the book provides policy, practice, and research recommendations to inform the next generation of work about this student population. Adriana Villavicencio highlights concrete steps that school districts can take to confront racist structures and support young people of color." --Back cover.
