Warren chronicles the transition of a cohort of young Black males from Urban Prep Charter Academy for Young Men to their early experiences in higher education. A rich and closely observed account of a mission-driven school and its students, \u003ci\u003eUrban Preparation\u003c\/i\u003e makes a significant contribution to our understanding of how young males of color can best be served in schools throughout the United States today.   A founding teacher at Urban Prep, Warren offers a detailed exploration of what this single-sex public high school on the South Side of Chicago has managed to accomplish amid profoundly challenging circumstances. He provides a comprehensive portrait of the school—its leaders, teachers, and professional staff; its students; and the community that the school aims to serve—and highlights how preparation for higher education is central to its mission.   Warren focuses on three main goals: to describe Urban Prep’s plans and efforts to prepare young Black males for college; to understand how race, community, poverty, and the school contributed, in complex and interrelated ways, to the academic goals of these students; and to offer a wide-ranging set of conclusions about the school environments and conditions that might help young Black males throughout the country succeed in high school and college.","brand":"Harvard Education Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052157452528,"sku":"9781682530771","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781682530771_p0.jpg?v=1763697182","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781682530771","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
