Dropout Prevention: How Migrant Education Supports Mexican Youth.
Gibson, Margaret A.; Bejinez, Livier F.
Journal of Latinos and Education, v1 n3 p155-75 2002
In an ethnically diverse California high school, high-risk migrant students persevere in school in significantly higher numbers than nonmigrant Mexican American classmates. Migrant Education Program staff foster a sense of belonging and community and facilitate student engagement through caring relationships with students, student access to institutional support, and activities that validate students' home cultures.
