Abstract

Through this study the authors aimed to determine the impact of a reading course and tutoring for elementary school youth enrolled in an after-school program in a low-income community. They conclude that multicultural field-based tutoring experiences connected to a content area course can increase teachers' pedagogical knowledge and teacher efficacy when teaching low-income, African-American students.
