Adolescents at School: Perspectives on Youth, Identity, and Education. Third Edition
Sadowski, Michael, Ed.
Harvard Education Press
"Adolescents at School" brings together the perspectives of scholars, educators, and researchers to address the many issues that affect adolescents' emerging identities, especially in relation to students' experience of and engagement with school. The book offers current and preservice teachers a practical understanding of the concept of identity development, particularly as impacted by such factors as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability/disability, immigration, and social class. This third edition includes new chapters on boys' emotional lives, risk and resilience in girls, the experiences of undocumented immigrant students, Muslim-American youth, and income inequality; features on "teaching while white"; and an extensively updated chapter on LGBTQ+ students. The book expands on the strengths and insights of the previous editions while also touching on issues highly relevant to contemporary youth such as social media, youth activism, and immigration. A practical and insightful volume, "Adolescents at School" points to ways to foster the success of every student in our schools and classrooms. [For the second edition, see ED515272.]
