Description
This paper examines the process of course selection by minoritized populations in two public high schools with new diversity in peri-urban communities in the Upper Midwestern United States to illuminate potential reasons and solutions for the continuing disproportionality between school demographics and the number of minoritized students taking and succeeding in advanced courses. Dr. Leer’s presentation will focus on truly understanding what access to these courses means to both students and their teachers.
