Strengthening the Academic Pipeline Leading to Careers in Math, Science, and Technology for Latino Students
Gandara, Patricia
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v5 n3 p222-237 2006
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.
