Opis

Asset-Based Pedagogies for Latino Youth explores the theory, research, and application of asset-based pedagogies as interventions against underperformance and school failure. Understanding differences in language and culture as strengths as opposed to deficiencies, this volume connects classroom practices to positive outcomes, preparing teachers to use ABP to promote academic achievement. With examples from research in and out of the classroom, this book provides future teachers with a critical understanding of how to support Latino youth.
