Why we focus on Hispanic Serving InstitutionsStudents have changed, and so has higher education. Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are the fastest growing sector of higher education, and enroll over 60% of all Latinx college students. HSI faculty, staff and administrators matter because they play a powerful role in Latinx student retention, graduation, and post-baccalaureate aspirations.
What our Programs are LikeOur programs are based on a self-reflective model of change. Whether we are working faculty, staff, or administrators, we help groups examine how well their practices are working through calculate equity gaps, and guide teams in planning for changes.
While we are not prescriptive, there is a strong research base that links certain types of teacher-student interactions and classroom structures with higher minority student engagement and academic outcomes. Changing teaching practices is not easy, however, and faculty need structured opportunities and support from their administrators and colleagues in order to make sustainable changes. |
