and Education
This section focuses on utilizing proven research household
projects at the K-12 level to improve the linguistic, academic,
intellectual, and technical strengths of Mexican/Latino
children. One major goal is to develop the most effective
linguistic and cognitive programs directed towards bilingual/bicultural
learners, and the use of household strengths to improve
the pedagogical interaction between school and home. These
projects are part of the “funds of knowledge”
designs developed by the Center director, which have proven
to be quite successful.
