Strategies for Faculty-Student Engagement: How Community College Faculty Engage Latino Students
Cejda, Brent D.; Hoover, Richard E.
Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, v12 n2 p135-153 2010-2011
Student-faculty engagement has been identified as the best predictor of Latino student persistence (Hurtado & Carter, 1997). This study explores the strategies that community college faculty employ to engage Latino students. Findings indicate that knowledge, appreciation, and sensitivity to Hispanic cultures and an understanding of the preferred learning styles of Latino students are important considerations to establishing classroom environments that engage Latino students and, thus, facilitate their retention and academic success.
