Crista AndersonHave you ever wondered why some urban kids get up and come to school every day?
How do some urban students excel in spite of an environment that doesn’t value education?
Are students aware of the things in their own lives that interfere with their success in school?
As urban educators, teacher educators and activists in Cleveland and Washington DC, dropout (or push-out) rates average close to 60% annually. That means 60% of freshmen in these schools never graduate from high school with the most basic of life tickets: a high school diploma.
We asked 150 Cleveland & Washington DC-area high school and middle school students to consider these questions and answer them with photographs and text. We offer this site to students, teachers and teacher educators everywhere who are interested in increasing student achievement in urban centers. -
