Pedro Noguera: Schooling for Resilience - Lessons From Single-Sex Schools

In the United States, boys of color struggle academically at much higher rates than their peers. One approach to address this problem has been the use of single-sex schools. Do they work? Pedro Noguera draws from a 3-year, seven-school study to tackle that question, and comes up with some interesting findings on both single-sex schools and on strategies for supporting boys of color. This interview followed the SCOPE Brown Bag Lecture: "Schooling for Resilience: Lessons From Single-Sex Schools" on November 10, 2014.
Noguera is the Peter L. Agnew Professor of Education at New York University. His research focuses on the ways in which schools are influenced by social and economic conditions, as well as by demographic trends in local, regional, and global contexts.
