Democratizing Equitable Futures in Public Education: An Interdisciplinary Approach to College Access
Yeh, Christine Jean; Tang, Phuong
AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (Toronto, Canada, Apr 5-9, 2019)
The authors present a culturally responsive college access group to increase educational opportunity for historically targeted high school students. The program was designed for first generation high school students who self-report as having no plans for after high school. The program highlights the need for inter-disciplinary collaboration with counselors, administrators, educators, researchers, and university students, and faculty to foster a supportive school climate (Beesley, 2004). A description and evaluation of the program is presented in a sample of 400 participants from 30 different public schools across the San Francisco Bay Area. The presentation will include specific content and techniques for each session of the group. Implications for democratizing college access in publics schools will be discussed.
