This is a book every African American parent should have. It points out how African American parents can build educational success for their child in spite of the negative effects of history and tradition. It outlines the steps necessary for parents to counter these effects. This book provides solutions by helping frame a strong definition of education, as well as how to create a home environment to support the definition. This is a timeless parental involvement tool which should benefit any parent and child who follows the advice. Randy Brown, Parent, Education Advocate in Cobb County Georgia Who's Defining Education for Your Child compiles a list of proven and practical suggestions, anchored in a timeless principle that can be easily implemented by parents today, if they are committed to developing a strong "mindset" for education in themselves and in their children. Dr. Lolethia Kibble, Title II Specialist, Virginia Department of Education Dr. and Mrs. Williams have created a profound piece of literature that is a "wake up call" to all stakeholders in the educational process of our African American students. They have set the platform for both much needed discussion and reform, in the way we value, relate to, and understand education. I have been inspired by the truths presented in this book, and will certainly use it as a springboard as to how I view the "teacher/learner" cultural and climate in my classroom. Nadine Lucate Pierre, Teacher In order to ensure that students receive the educational opportunities that prepare them for the challenges of the 21st century, parents must motivate their children to engage in learning so they can achieve school success. "Who's Defining Education for Your Child?" provides some concrete strategies for parents to help address the issues that short circuit the academic success of African American youth and it illustrates a compelling story for why you can't just let others define educational experiences for your child. Dr. Kimberly Matier, Deputy Chief Academic Officer, Minneapolis Minnesota

This study explores the various ways in which parental involvement can help to increase student academic success. More specifically, this analysis is based on the notions that: 1) parent involvement in inner city schools present unique challenges that are different from the traditional middle class perspective; 2) there is value in a cooperative approach between parents, teachers, and administrators that places the student at the center of each major discussion and decision; and 3) illustrates that parental involvement is a real perspective and not just rhetorical jargon. Although the focus of this book is in increasing parent involvement in inner city schools, readers must be mindful that the ultimate objective for this work and others like it is the successful educating of all children, so that they graduate from high school, and move into higher education, or into the workforce. Parent involvement by itself will not ensure academic success of children, but, combined with many strategies, including a clear understanding of the differences between an inner city school environment and a middle class school setting, effective teaching, sound and relevant curricula, safe and secure learning environment, and visionary leadership, children attending inner city schools can be just as effective as those in middle class school settings.

This important book provides African American parents with the knowledge to diversify K–12 school choices beyond traditional neighborhood public schools in order to optimize the educational chances of their own children, and it will help educators and policymakers to close the black-white academic achievement gap throughout America. Closing the K–12 achievement gap is critical to the future welfare of African American individuals, families, and communities—and to the future of our nation as a whole. The black-white academic achievement gap—the significant statistical difference in academic performance between African American students and their white peers—is the single greatest impediment to achieving racial equality and social justice in America. Black Educational Choice provides parents, citizens, educators, and policymakers the critical knowledge they need to leverage the national trend toward increasing and diversifying K–12 school choice beyond traditional neighborhood public schools. Parents can use this information to optimize the success of their own African American children, while policymakers and educators can apply these insights to help close the black-white academic achievement gap throughout America. The book collects the interdisciplinary, multi-racial, and multi-ethnic perspectives of education experts to address the questions of millions of anxious African American families: "Would sending our children to a private school or a charter school significantly better their chances of closing the achievement gap and becoming successful individuals? And if so, what kinds of challenges would they likely experience in these alternative educational settings?"
