The Bottom Line
The rapid increase in minorities among the youth population is here to stay. We need to make a major commitment, as educators, to see that all our students have the opportunity to perform academically at a high level. There will be barriers of color, language, culture, and attitude that will be greater than any we have faced before, as Spanish speaking students are joined by those from Thailand and Vietnam.
The task will not be to lower the standards but to increase the effort. To do so will be to the direct benefit of all Americans, as a new generation of people becomes a part of our fabric, adding a high level of energy and creativity that has always been characteristic of groups who are making their way in America.
Their numbers are now so large that if they do not succeed, all of us will have diminished futures. That is the new reality.

Effective Strategies: What Works For Hispanic Students
CONECCIONES
Based on Kellogg Foundation’s ENLACE Program (Engaging Latino Communities for Education)
Focus on critical components and transition points Enhance community and family outreach Promote leadership development Target area: Will Rogers High School feeder
schools
18
Conecciones Strategies
Critical transition points (from home to Pre-K and from 5th Grade to Middle School)
Parent Involvement (through parent education and outreach)
Family Support (connecting families to needed community services) Individual and Group dynamics (leadership skills, social skills, career exploration, college aspiration)
Tutoring (focus on ELL students and those lacking appropriate services)
19
Conecciones Lessons Learned: Successful Efforts
Focus on transition points has been highly successful to engage student and family and continue supporting them through next life/school level.
Even at middle school and high school, interventions are effective when establishing a connection with a student.
Parent-school connection is imperative for parent involvement, outreach and education.
Addressing student and family as a unit is an effective strategy. Student outcomes are strongly linked to home circumstances and environment.
20
Conecciones Lessons Learned: Challenges
Imperative need for bilingual/bicultural staff, culturally knowledgeable teachers and appropriate staff support to serve diverse student population.
Lack of adequate ELL resources/need for improved ELL curriculum and qualified teachers.
Need for a more coordinated effort to maximize available community resources.
Access to higher education opportunities is still an issue for many.

The public education system alone cannot overcome the educational inequalities in our country.
A comprehensive, multilevel approach from all sectors is imperative.
