Description

This book walks readers through the stages of the high school college prep pipeline that introduces interlocked structural barriers to students. The author shows how these barriers reinforce segregated structures that unfairly distribute the public good of education to some students and not others. Price argues that the college prep pipeline of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate coursework in American high schools constitutes a new form of tracking in the 21st century. Even further, this new tracking introduces a façade of "college readiness" that veils the unequal learning opportunities that send some students out into the college world with pockets full of counterfeit credentials that serve only to reinforce the historically oppressive system. Whether intentional or not, this new form of tracking is embedded in schools across the United States and have lifetime consequences for individual students that reinforce historically racial, ethnic, and spatial inequalities. Book Features:Follows all the stages in the college prep pipeline, from access to curriculum to participation in classes to demonstration of mastery of the course content. Provides a more valid measure of quality by using the national tests of College Board Advanced Placement to compare the learning outcomes of students enrolled in the same classes across the nation. Uses Arizona, Florida, Michigan, and North Carolina as case studies that exemplify the variation in practice and policy across the United States. Compares public districts to charter high schools, showing how the rise in school choice policies hinders integration efforts. Review " The Fractured College Prep Pipeline is a cogent explanation of the issues the existing college-prep pipeline poses, consisting of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate coursework geared toward predominantly white students and other college-prep credentials of lesser value geared toward less-privileged students."--CHOICE About the Author Heather E. Price is assistant professor of leadership studies doctoral program with concurrent appointment in the Social, Behavioral, and Forensic Sciences department at Marian University.
