Title
High-achieving Latino students: Successful pathways toward college and beyond
Abstract
This new book by scholars and practitioners Susan Paik, Stacy Kula, Jeremiah González, and Verónica González is important and valuable. It represents a ground-breaking approach that describes for those on the frontlines of school improvement, policymaking, and research what positive success in gaining access to higher education actually looks like for Latino students, the nation’s largest minority population. Latino students are everywhere in this nation. They are no longer confined to large urban districts or border states, but are an emerging majority in many rural and some suburban school districts throughout our country. Figuring out what contributes to their academic success and their access to higher education becomes an important part of the nation’s quest to improve its economic standing and productivity on the world stage. Turning a spotlight on what factors contribute to Latino student success is the heart and soul of this timely volume. How family, culture, home environment, resources and preparation all play vital roles in developing students who beat both the odds and the conventional stereotypes about Latinos is captured in rich detail, including the often-overlooked voices of the students themselves. In addition to being the right book at the right time, these editors should be congratulated for giving us a stellar example of how a research-practice collaboration comes together to produce such a valuable and lasting contribution to the field of school reform and improvement. Those who work in schools, universities, think tanks and policymaking centers have been waiting anxiously for this kind of book, and it’s now here.

abstractTranslation: Este nuevo libro de los académicos y profesionales Susan Paik, Stacy Kula, Jeremiah González y Verónica González es importante y valioso. Representa un enfoque innovador que describe para aquellos que están en la primera línea de la mejora escolar, la formulación de políticas y la investigación lo que realmente significa el éxito positivo en el acceso a la educación superior para los estudiantes latinos, la población minoritaria más grande del país. Los estudiantes latinos están en todas partes en esta nación. Ya no se limitan a los grandes distritos urbanos o a los estados fronterizos, sino que son una mayoría emergente en muchos distritos escolares rurales y algunos suburbanos de todo el país. Averiguar qué contribuye a su éxito académico y su acceso a la educación superior se convierte en una parte importante de la búsqueda de la nación para mejorar su posición económica y productividad en el escenario mundial. Poner el foco en los factores que contribuyen al éxito de los estudiantes latinos es el corazón y el alma de este oportuno volumen. La forma en que la familia, la cultura, el entorno familiar, los recursos y la preparación juegan un papel vital en el desarrollo de estudiantes que superan tanto las probabilidades como los estereotipos convencionales sobre los latinos se captura con gran detalle, incluidas las voces de los propios estudiantes que a menudo se pasan por alto. Además de ser el libro adecuado en el momento adecuado, hay que felicitar a estos editores por darnos un ejemplo estelar de cómo una colaboración entre la investigación y la práctica se une para producir una contribución tan valiosa y duradera al campo de la reforma y la mejora de las escuelas. Aquellos que trabajan en escuelas, universidades, grupos de expertos y centros de formulación de políticas han estado esperando ansiosamente este tipo de libro, y ahora está aquí.
