Scattered Challenges, Singular Solutions: The New Latino Diaspora
Wortham, Stanton; Clonan-Roy, Katherine; Link, Holly; Martinez, Carlos
Phi Delta Kappan, v94 n6 p14-19 Mar 2013
A new Latino diaspora has seen the arrival of Spanish-speaking students in rural and suburban America--places that had not experienced Hispanic immigration in the way the Southwest and urban centers have. This new development presents educators with challenges in meeting these students' needs. But educators also have the opportunity to draw on the skills and knowledge such students bring from home. The most successful solutions tend to be unique, rather than generalized. (Contains 1 figure.)
