The New Journalism on Latino Children project offers a fresh perspective on reporting and research on Latino families and schools.
It is a collaboration between the National Education Writers Association and the National Panel on Latino Children and Schooling, based at Berkeley’s Institute of Human Development. You can see our special section on the issues, with emphasis on the latest research, as well as an upcoming conference.
The project has two reports on Latino students, one focusing on high school and the other on positive attributes Latino students bring to school.
