Yet, the resilience of Latino students and their potential for academic success are significant (Diaz Salcedo, 1996). It is essential to capitalize on the strengths of Latino students because the economic and technological future of this country depends on their educational success, and the success of African Americans and Asians, since these three groups together will constitute an increasingly large portion of the total U.S. population by the mid twenty-first century. This digest provides a critique of the various educational strategies that have been used with Latino students, and suggests alternatives that may prove more effective.
