Доброго времени суток.

One of the ways Itasca members sought to fix this problem was to get behind Sondra Samuels, who heads the Northside Achievement Zone (NAZ)—a collaborative of forty-three organizations and schools aimed at closing the achievement gap. NAZ was founded in 2008 in Minneapolis, and is modeled on Geoffrey Canada’s Harlem Children’s Zone. It uses a ***holistic web of family coaches and tutors***, combined with academic and wraparound support, for 1,100 families, to keep 2,300 children in an education pipeline from early childhood to college. North Minneapolis has been designated a racially concentrated area of poverty where more than 50 percent of the residents are people of color and 40 percent live below the poverty line, and where schools have long been low-performing. A 2016 headline in the Star Tribune called it the “Battle Zone.” You cannot build a healthy community, Samuels argued, when African American students in Minneapolis have a 52 percent four-year high school graduation rate.
