| 520 | |a "Breaking Through the Access Barrier is an invaluable read for those who are hoping to improve opportunities for students who are underrepresented in higher education. The authors' discussion of academic capital formation--the processes which build knowledge of postsecondary academic and career options--offers a compelling framework for promising strategies to promote college readiness, persistence, and success."--Deborah J. Wilds, Ph. D., President and Chief Operating Officer, College Success Foundation. | ||
| 520 | |a "The authors provide us with a rare piece of work in that they provide scholars, practitioners, parents, and students with a comprehensive way to think about access in higher education. This is critically important in that many professionals have been trying for decades to assist students struggling against the system, often with little success. Herein lies the hope for this book; researchers, theorists, and practitioners having a common perspective."--William E. Sedlacek, Professor Emeritus, College of Education, University of Maryland. | ||
| 520 | |a Breaking Through the Access Barrier argues that the policies designed to address inequalities in college access are failing to address underlying issues of inequality. This book introduces academic capital formation (ACF), a groundbreaking new theory defined by family knowledge of educational options and the opportunities for pursuing them. The authors suggest focusing on intervention programs and public policy to promote improvement in academic preparation, college information, and student aid. | ||
| 520 | |a Written for courses on higher education policy and policy analysis, readers will find Breaking Through the Access Barrier offers valuable advice for working within new policy frameworks and reshaping the future of educational opportunities and access for underrepresented students from disadvantaged backgrounds. --Book Jacket. | ||
