Based on a case study with accounts from rural high school students and counselors, this book examines how these communities perceive higher education and what challenges arise for both rural students and counselors. The book addresses how college knowledge and university jargon illustrate the gap between rural cultural capital and higher education cultural capital. Insights about approaches to reduce barriers created by college knowledge and university jargon are shared and strategies for offering rural students pathways to learn academic language and navigate higher education are presented for both secondary and higher education institutions.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 236mmItem Length: 161mmItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 381gAuthor: Sonja ArdoinBook Series: Social Class in EducationGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Children's Learning & Education, Social SciencesRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
