This book was released on 2017 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study looked at Latino students and their satisfaction with the Upward Bound program, a college preparation program offered to low income first generation high school students. More specifically, this study looked at the Latino student's perception of the program and its effectiveness. This topic derived from the literature stating that the Latino population is increasing; however, most of the population is going straight into the workforce instead of college due to little to no college preparation. Therefore, this study looked at the Upward Bound program specifically. Using a basic qualitative analysis, I analyzed the interviews to find common themes using Yosso's (2005) lens on Community of Cultural Wealth. Yosso (2005) describes Community of Cultural Wealth as the idea that People of Color have the benefit of wealth due to their second language and culture. The themes found in this study included aspirational capital, social capital, familial capital, and navigational capital. The participants of the study felt that the Upward Bound program gave them enough support to succeed even if they did not know what they wanted to pursue yet. The participants felt that they had a network of people helping them including their families, friends, and program mentors to succeed in their college preparation journey.

Book excerpt: High-Achieving Latino Students: Successful Pathways Toward College and Beyond addresses a long-standing need for a book that focuses on the success, not failure, of Latino students. While much of the existing research works from a deficit lens, this book uses a strength-based approach to support Latino achievement. Bringing together researchers and practitioners, this unique book provides research-based recommendations from early to later school years on “what works” for supporting high achievement. Praise for High-Achieving Latino Students "This book focuses on an important issue about which we know little. There are many lessons here for both scholars and educators who believe that Latino students can succeed. I congratulate the authors for taking on this timely and significant topic." ~ Guadalupe Valdés, Ph.D., Bonnie Katz Tenenbaum Professor in Education, Stanford University. Author of Con Respeto: Bridging the Distances Between Culturally Diverse Families and Schools "This is a must-read book for leaders in institutions of both K-12 and higher education who want to better understand success factors of Latino students in the US. Using a strength-based framework to understand and support Latino achievement is a new paradigm that must be considered by all." ~ Loui Olivas, Ed.D., President, American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education "In addition to being the right book at the right time, these editors should be congratulated for giving us a stellar example of how a research-practice collaboration comes together to produce such a valuable and lasting contribution to the field of school reform and improvement. Those who work in schools, universities, think tanks and policymaking centers have been waiting anxiously for this kind of book, and it’s now here." ~ Carl A. Cohn, Ed.D., Former Executive Director, California Collaborative for Educational Excellence, CA State Board of Education member, and Superintendent "There may not be a silver bullet for solving the so-called problem of Latino underachievement, but well-conceived solutions do exist. This powerful book offers strength- and asset-based frameworks that demonstrate Latino achievement is possible. Read this text to not only get informed, but to also get nurtured and inspired!" ~ Angela Valenzuela, Ph.D., Professor in Education, University of Texas at Austin.

Download or read book Evaluating the Effectiveness of a College Preparation Course for Hispanic High School Students written by Dayan M. Bernal and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the effectiveness of a college preparation course for Hispanic sutdents as implemented at Provo High School. Studies indicate that the majority of Hispanic students in the United States are not enrolled in postsecondary institutions. As a result, their education is discountinued once they have graduated from high school. This does not imply that the majority of Hispanic students do not desire to pursue a postsecondary education and obtain a postsecondary degree. Instead, it implies that our education system does not adequately accomodating students from different backgrounds and cultures. Thus, additional initiatives and outreach programs should be implemented to promote higher college enrollment rates among Hispanics.

Download or read book Effective Programs for Latino Students written by Robert E. Slavin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latino (or Hispanic) children are one of the fastest-growing groups in U.S. schools today. On average, these students perform worse than Anglo students on measures of academic achievement and other measures of academic success, and their drop-out rate is high. There are schools of excellence among those serving Latino children, but the majority of these children are placed "at risk" by schools and community institutions unable to build on the cultural, personal, and linguistic strengths these children are likely to bring with them to school. Schools serving Latino students need programs based on high-quality research, capable of being replicated and adapted to local circumstances and needs. The purpose of this book is to present the current state of the art with respect to research on effective instructional programs for Latino students in elementary and secondary grades. Surprisingly, this has not been done before; there are many books on the situation of Latino students in U.S. schools, but none so far have reviewed research on the outcomes of programs designed to enhance the academic achievement of these students. The chapters represent a broad range of methodologies, from experimental to correlational to descriptive, and the solutions they propose are extremely diverse. Each examines, in its own way, programs and practices that are showing success. Together, they present a rich array of research-based effective programs that are practical, widely available, and likely to make a profound difference. What binds the chapters together is a shared belief that Latino students can succeed at the highest levels if they receive the quality of instruction they deserve, and a shared belief that reform of schools serving many Latino students is both possible and essential. This is a book filled with statistics, description, and reviews of research--but even more, it is filled with optimism about what schools for Latino students can be, and what these students will achieve. It is a highly relevant and useful resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers who want to use research to inform the decisions they make about how to help Latino students succeed in elementary and secondary schools, and beyond.

This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos’ postsecondary educational attainment has not kept pace with their growing representation in the U.S. population. How can Latino educational attainment be advanced? This monograph presents relevant contemporary research, focusing on the role of institutional contexts. Drawing particularly on research grounded in Latino students’ perspectives, it identifies key challenges Latino students face and discuss various approaches to address these challenges. Because so many Latino students are enrolled in federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), it also specifically explores HSIs’ role in promoting Latinos’ higher education access and equity. As a conclusion, it offers recommendations for institutional, state, and federal policies that can foster supportive contexts. This is Volume 39 Issue 1 of the Jossey-Bass publication ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph in the series is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education problem, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Several factors influence academic performance and educational attainment of Latino youth. Latino youth encounter social, informational and financial barriers to educational attainment. Barriers include educational inequities, poverty, language, immigration, parent factors and insufficient resources to navigate the education system. A thorough literature review was conducted, in order to understand the needs of Latino youth in the educational system and interventions which improve academic performance and educational attainment. Research conducted identified college preparation programs implemented in the school setting as an effective means to promote academic success and higher education attainment. The purpose of this project was to develop funding grant application for a college preparation program for Anaheim High School. The goal of this program is to improve the academic performance and increase the number of Latino students pursuing a higher education. The actual submission and/or funding of this grant were not required for the successful completion of this project.
