Opis

In this inspiring book, Anne Bouie details her work with underachieving urban youth and their families at Project Interface, a math and science enrichment program, where she developed a unique approach to raising achievement. Bouie argues that rather than identifying deficits and dysfunctions in the family, a more effective method focuses on the strengths and builds on the inherent resilience of the community. She describes the design and implementation of a collaboratively organized, community-based after-school enrichment program that worked.
