Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

xvi, 272 pages. Notes. References. Index. Inscribed by Hrabowski on fep. Freeman Alphonsa Hrabowski III (born August 13, 1950) is a prominent American educator, advocate, and mathematician. In May 1992 he began his term as president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Hrabowski has transformed a commuter university into a research institution recognized as one of the most innovative in the country. His administration continues to build a campus that's first-rate in research and instruction, and that prepares students of all backgrounds for career success. Hrabowski is the co-author of the books, Beating the Odds: Raising Academically Successful African American Males, Overcoming the Odds: Raising Academically Successful African American Young Women, and Holding Fast to Dreams: Empowering Youth from the Civil Rights Crusade to STEM. His research and many publications focus on science and math education, with a special emphasis on minority participation and performance. In 2011, Hrabowski received the Carnegie Corporation of New York's Academic Leadership Award, one of the highest honors given to an educator. Statistics indicate that African American females, as a group, fare poorly in the United States. Many live in single-parent households-either as the single-parent mother or as the daughter. Many face severe economic hurdles. Yet despite these obstacles, some are performing at exceptional levels academically. Based on interviews with many of these successful young women and their families, this work provides a wealth of information about how and why they have succeeded-what motivates them, how their backgrounds and family relationships have shaped them, even how it feels to be a high academic achiever. They also discuss the challenges of moving into African American womanhood, from maintaining self-esteem to making the right choices about their professional and personal lives. Most important, the book offers specific and inspiring examples of the practices, attitudes, and parenting strategies that have enabled these women to persevere and triumph. For parents, educators, policy makers, and indeed all those concerned about the education of young African American women, Overcoming the Odds is an invaluable guidebook on creating the conditions that lead to academic-and lifelong-success.…
