| Abstract: | This article discusses three programs at the elementary or middle level that have been effective in promoting academic success for Hispanic students: Success for All, the Helping One Student to Succeed (HOSTS) Program, and Cognitively Guided Instruction. While only Success for All has a form specifically designed for Spanish-dominant students, both the HOSTS Program-- an example of a tutoring program pairing adults with youth--and Cognitively Guided Instruction show positive results and have been broadly replicated among Hispanic and non-Hispanic students. The application of each program is illustrated. Issues of curriculum, mathematics and reading skills, instruction, professional feedback, mentoring, limited English proficiency, and assessment are considered. Program and policy recommendations of the article are presented. (jpb) |
