Latinos & Latinas in Higher Ed What Constitutes Success? Dr. Victor Chacón, Presenter L.E.A.P. 2008

Agenda Introductions – Icebreaker Survey – 3 questions Presentation: issues & data Conclusions, resource sharing

Three questions What does it take to succeed academically? How do you define success? Identify it. What stands in your way? What barriers keep you from succeeding in school?

Indicators Financial, economic Language Pressure: peer Pressure: family Pressure: cultural –Assimilation Relationships and Communication –with Instructors –familiarity w system Academic preparation Personal ambition

Financial Need How to pay for school? Education isn’t free Federal Financial Aid Don’t qualify? Oops… Grants Scholarships Savings P/T job Parents Family

Language Monolingual or Bilingual? Asset or detriment? Bilingual means Bicultural Code-shifting, frame-shifting Myth: Latinos don’t want to learn English, not assimilating Accent: I’m embarrassed of how I speak Be proud of who you are!

Pressures Peers, friends matter I’m not smart... Learning is for wimps You think you’re better than us? Entertainment, fun, & sports trump education You’re young only once I’ll do it later – later, later... Future – what future?

Relationships & Communication With – –Your close friends –Instructors, Faculty –Tutors, Mentors –Administrators, Staff –Colleges, Universities –Yourself: Self-examination Personal empowerment Reading, knowledge of issues, literacy Speak up, speak out A.K.S.A. – MC Model

Academic Preparation Who runs academia? Who has your interests at heart? What do ‘they’ know about you that you don’t? Stop being a number, communicate! Voice your needs: Tutoring, clarification, support w homework El que no habla...

Research Findings Best student-teacher relationships grounded on cultural values, acceptance of who you are Majority of Latinos lack tutor support Family (and friends) trump education Work trumps education Latinos thrive in group learning situations Most 1 st year college students lack math, science skills If it’s meant to be, it’s up to me!

Success Skill Development Learn to plan, strategize, organize your life Learn to DREAM* – dreaming’s good! Write Set short & long-term goals for yourself Focus on what you want, not what you don’t Watch your negative self-talk, re-direct Develop networking skills along the way In order to get, learn to give, pay it forward The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing...don’t get side-tracked
