Popis: In this book, Slavin and Calderón demonstrate that school-age Hispanic students in the United States can realize their academic expectations and in the process become capable members of society when they are trained in quality educational programs. The authors' educational research expertise presents readers with a selection of recent studies of elementary and secondary instructional programs targeting Latino students. The book's 10 chapters advance a commanding body of performance data that illustrate how Latino students, like any other students, can be successfully educated and empowered and can even excel in an antagonistic American educational culture. The programs researched include numerous educational models specific to Hispanic students as well as adaptations of other national programs.
