The Black-White Test Score Gap
Audience is for college faculty, staff or administration on how to improve outcomes for minority students using noncognitive assessment. Interesting are the variables that correlate with positive outcomes. What's less exciting about this book is that the author self-references his own work constantly and other work cited is mostly in the 1990s. There were a few studies from 200-2002 mentioned, but I find it hard to believe that no research has been conducted in this area in the past 10 years so I was led to believe that it is an outdated lit review. Still a great read however if you are working at a college and in a position to implement research that will improve the outcomes for underrepresented populations.
