Based on four and a half years of qualitative research, the book examines the schooling of teens in the Dominican Republic, the social and linguistic challenges the immigrant teens face in Washington Heights, and how Gregorio Luperon High School works with the community to respond to those challenges. The staff at Luperon see their students as emergent bilinguals and adhere to a culturally and linguistically additive approach. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter offering a history of the school's formation, the authors detail the ways in which federal No Child Left Behind policies, New York State accountability measures, and New York City's educational reforms under Mayor Michael Bloomberg complicated the school's efforts. The book then describes the dynamic bilingual pedagogical approach adopted within the school to help students develop academic Spanish and English. Focusing on the lives of twenty immigrant youth, Bartlett and Garcia also show that, although the school achieves high completion rates, the graduating students nevertheless face difficult postsecondary educational and work environments that too often consign them to the ranks of the working poor.\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn unusually successful approach to bilingual education for Dominican immigrant teens in a New York City high school\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLesley Bartlett, co-director of the Center for Multiple Languages and Literacies at Teachers College, Columbia University, is the author of The Word and the World: The Cultural Politics of Literacy in Brazil and co-editor of Critical Approaches to Comparative Education. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOfelia Garcia is Professor of Urban Education and of Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Literatures and Languages at the Graduate Center, City University of New York.
