Reviews
"Schooling the Next Generationis a well-conceptualized, meticulous case study of the performance of students in ten schools in low socioeconomic status communities in Vancouver. At a time when schools tended to be scapegoats for society's social and economic problems, Dan Zuberi's book brings a calm, well-modulated voice into the debate."--Cecille DePass, Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary, ' Schooling the Next Generation is unique for its focus on ten elementary schools.... This book provides a much-needed exploration of the early school disparities.' --Gilda L. Ochoa, Contemporary Sociology vol 45:06:2016

Synopsis
Public schools are among the most important institutions in North American communities, especially in disadvantaged urban neighbourhoods. At their best, they enable students to overcome challenges like poverty by providing vital literacy and numeracy skills. At their worst, they condemn students to failure, both economically and in terms of preparing them to be active participants in a democratic society. In Schooling the Next Generation, Dan Zuberi documents the challenges facing ten East Vancouver elementary schools in diverse lower-income communities, as well as the ways their principals, teachers, and parents are overcoming these challenges. Going beyond the faÇade of standardized test scores, Zuberi identifies the kinds of school and community programs that are making a difference and could be replicated in other schools. At the same time, he calls into question the assumptions behind a test score-driven search for "successful schools." Focusing on early literacy and numeracy skills mastery, Schooling the Next Generation presents a slate of policy recommendations to help students in urban elementary schools achieve their full potential., In Schooling the Next Generation, Dan Zuberi documents the challenges facing ten East Vancouver elementary schools in diverse lower-income communities, as well as the ways their principals, teachers, and parents are overcoming these challenges., Public schools are among the most important institutions in North American communities, especially in disadvantaged urban neighbourhoods.
