Strengthening the academic pipeline leading to careers in math, science, and technology for Latino students

Abstract

Abstract: Because Latino students begin school far behind their non-Hispanic peers, moving more of them into the math and science pipeline will require a broad strategy that begins with preliteracy skills. This article reviews existing data on the costs of effective intervention and suggests that we would have to invest from 1.5 to 2 times what we now invest per pupil to provide a seamless web of support to begin to even the playing field for Latino students. Resumen: Debido a que estudiantes Latinos empiezan la escuela mucho más atrás que sus compañeros no-Hispanos, mover más de ellos por el conducto de ciencias y matemáticas requerirá una estrategia amplia que empieza con habilidades previas a la escritura. Este manuscrito revisa información existente sobre los costos de una intervención efectiva y sugiere que tendríamos que invertir de 1.5 a 2 veces más que lo que ahora invertimos por alumno para proveer una red sin costura de apoyo y empezar a igualar el camino para estudiantes Latinos
