Reviews for African American Male Students in PreK-12 Schools: Informing Research Policy and Practice
"African American males in PreK-12 schools: Informing research practice and policy contributes greatly both to deepened understanding of the issues in the lives of African American boys and the identification of systemic and day-to-day solutions. The breadth of topics in this book demonstrates clearly for readers that solutions to African American student achievement must be found in schools families and the larger community context. The careful balance of discussing both risk and resilience in ways that are respectful of the African American cultural experience is like a breath of fresh air. This is a good book for any individual seeking to deepen their understanding of African American male achievement and to follow that understanding with committed action."
Rhonda Tsoi-A-Fatt Bryant Interim Director of Youth Policy Center for Law and Social Policy Washington DC
"Drs. James L. Moore III and Chance W. Lewis have done a mighty and meaningful thing for the field of black male achievement and our country as a whole with publishing African American males in PreK-12 schools: Informing research practice and policy. They have accomplished the invaluable feat of organizing some of the nation's most brilliant minds to deliver a robust body of sound research and science which should be used to inform the educational programmatic and policy vision of what it means to even the playing field for black boys growing up in America. If we truly intend to weave a thread of racial equity within the current education reform debate Drs. Moore and Lewis present a poignant and at times piercing path pointing us all toward academic success for African American males."
Shawn Dove Campaign Manager for Black Male Achievement Open Society Foundation New York NY

African American males in PreK-12 schools: Informing research practice and policy is uniquely designed and one of a kind.

"In African American males in PreK-12 schools the authors and researchers make a powerful case for ridding our collective mind-set of deficit thinking while emphasizing the undeniable evidence of success factors essential for understanding the development of Black males. Building upon the pioneering work of previous research current studies and anecdotal stories from the voices of our young Black males the book gives us a potent tool for those of us trying to leave a 'counter-narrative' legacy in the fight against the negative stereotypes to long used to castigate Black boys and men. The book represents important and fertile ground-breaking work for researchers and practitioners alike trying to gain greater insight and resolution to the most reprehensible issues facing all regions of our nation."
