Description:
This cross-case analysis compares how three STEM-focused high schools motivate and support students in learning college-preparatory mathematics. The schools have records of success in improving the educational outcomes of minority students, many of them first-generation college-goers. It is part of a larger NSF-funded study of 12 such high schools.
