Aprašymas

"For far too long the Asian American and Pacific Islander(AAPI) student population has been left out of conversations about studentsuccess, forgotten due to the model minority myth. Maramba and Fong havebrought to the surface key issues for all in higher education to discuss andlearn from. The group of authors they have assembled have both thescholarly background and practice-based knowledge to help the field moveforward in its understanding of AAPI students and Asian American and NativeAmerican Pacific Islander Serving Institutions."--Marybeth Gasman, Judy & Howard Berkowitz Professor of Education, University of Pennsylvania

This book, thefirst to focus wholly on Asian Americanand Native American Pacific Islander Institutions (AANAPISIs) and theirstudents, offers a corrective to misconceptions about these populations anddocuments student services and leadership programs, innovative pedagogies, modelsof community engagement, and collaborations across academic and student affairsthat have transformed student outcomes. Thisbook recognizes there is a large population of underserved Asian American andPacific Islander college students who, given their educational disparities, are in severe need of attention. Thecontributors describe effective practices that enable instructors to validatethe array of students' specific backgrounds and circumstances within thecontexts of developing such skills as writing, leadership and cross-culturalcommunication for their class cohorts as a whole. They demonstrate that payingattention to the diversity of student experiences in the teaching environmentenriches the learning for all.
