Adolescent Lives in Transition

How Social Class Influences the Adjustment to Middle School

About this book

Research on the impact of social class variables on experiences of adolescents as they transition to middle school.

Addressing the issues of educational equity and social class diversity, Donna Marie San Antonio documents the challenges adolescents face when making the transition from elementary school to middle school. The book explores the values, resources, and ways of interacting that students from diverse economic backgrounds bring from their families and communities, and how they are enabled or discouraged from integrating these assets in their new school environment.
