Case Studies
The PALMS Case Studies offer in-depth descriptions of programs that seek to increase the educational attainment of Latino students. Though the programs' activities are oriented toward students' futures, they also pay close attention to how students are faring in their current educational settings. As such, they partner with schools to improve the quality of students' academic and social experiences in the secondary grades (6-12).
The case studies illustrate a variety of approaches that educational institutions can use to strengthen their outreach to the Latino families in their midst. We encourage our readers to use the case studies as discussion starters for you and your colleagues. To that end, each case includes a set of questions that facilitate analysis and application. It is our intent that these materials stimulate rich and productive conversation that will benefit both Latino students and the schools that serve them.
The case studies are available as PDF files. Click on its link in the left-hand column to begin downloading.
