A Portrait of Sources of School-based (In)Formal Support for Urban Middle School Students
Aubrey Uresti, University of California, Davis, CA, USA.
The study I presented was the second in what I hope will be an ongoing collaboration with this school and school district. Fitzgerald Middle School (pseudonym) is a diverse urban public school located in California. With an emphasis in art and technology, Fitzgerald offers a comprehensive music program. The school enrollment is roughly 500 students; 53% of students are classified as socioeconomically disadvantaged, 22% are English Language Learners, and 18% have special needs.
