Adelante : preparing Latino students for success

Abstract

As one of the largest minority populations in the United States, Latinos need support to overcome many of the systemic barriers that are limiting their potential for success. Education is a tool Latinos can use for their advancement. Therefore it is important that educational institutions work at all levels to provide culturally competent education to as many Latino students as possible and provide opportunities for success. In this report I analyze Latino cultural values and present various methods to create an open and accepting learning environment.
