Description
Summary:We can reduce the gap between the potential and actual achievement for African American and Latina/o low income youth. This presentation shows the why and the how. Based on current and NIMH funded research, Dr. Oyserman's interventions have had positive effects on grades, attendance, effort, and reduction in depressive symptoms. Theory/practice efforts and parent involvement focus on bringing the school possible-self into concert with racial /ethnic identity, helping the school realize youths potential, and the importance of a no pain, no gain attitude if one is to succeed.
