As part of the 25th Anniversary Year of Action, the Initiative made a national call for Bright Spots in Hispanic Education and announced over 230 during Hispanic Heritage Month. To elevate the work, including promising practices, of these Bright Spots and learn from their experiences, the Initiative is hosting a series of public engagements, via Google + Hangout over the coming year.
These interactive sessions will provide an opportunity to hear from programs, models, organizations, or initiatives that are helping close the achievement gap, from cradle-to-career, for Hispanic students, and for discussing ways to continue moving the needle on progress for Latino students and families.
The next in a series of monthly Hangouts, will take place on Wednesday, March 16, 2016 from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. eastern standard time and will focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education.
