Meeting the Challenge of a Changing Rural School/Community Cultural Population.
Martin, Barbara N.
Rural Educator, v22 n1 p1-5 Fall 2000
A rural Missouri school district considered student records and parents' and teachers' needs in formulating changes to accommodate its increasing Hispanic population. Teachers took Spanish classes at an area college; limited English speaking students took special English classes; small group instruction, mentors, and peer helpers were used; and a welcome house helped orient new Hispanic students and families.
