Description

Although foster youth have college aspirations similar to their peers, fewer than one in ten ultimately complete a two-year or four-year college degree. What are the major factors that influence their chances of succeeding? Climbing a Broken Ladder advances our knowledge of what can be done to improve college outcomes for a student group that has largely remained invisible in higher education. Drawing on data from one of the most extensive studies of young people in foster care, Nathanael J. Okpych examines a wide range of factors that contribute to the chances that foster youth enroll in college, persist in college, and ultimately complete a degree. Okpych also investigates how early trauma affects later college outcomes, as well as the impact of a significant child welfare policy that extends the age limit of foster care. The book concludes with data-driven and concrete recommendations for policy and practice to get more foster youth into and through college. Review "Climbing a Broken Ladder provides a rigorous collection of observational studies that outline the key challenges foster alumni face in their post-secondary education journeys and speaks to critical solutions that child welfare and higher education authorities should heed. This is a wonderful example of a cross-disciplinary study that yields equal importance to the social work and educational fields."--Angelique Day, University of Washington, Seattle "Co-Founder, National Research Collaborative on Foster Alumni in Higher Education (NRC-FAHE)""Few studies have used long-term data on former foster youth to illuminate the challenges faced on the path toward college completion in such a balanced and confident way as Climbing a Broken Ladder. Okpych's work straddles both social work and educational studies while greatly advancing both fields." --Jacob Paul Gross "University of Louisville" About the Author NATHANAEL J. OKPYCH is an assistant professor in the school of social work at the University of Connecticut in Hartford.
