PALMS... College Within Their Grasp

Postsecondary Access for Latino Middle-grades Students

Tools in Action

In September 2006, PALMS began a two-year process, during which we have documented how middle-grades leaders bring Tools for Latino Family Outreach to life. We are working with Helen Tyson Middle School in Springdale, Arkansas and Hommocks Middle School in Larchmont, NY. As part of this study, we will develop a series of multimedia case studies that capture the school's experiences and allow other educators to learn important lessons about reaching out to Latino families.

Our first multimedia case study, "Conducting an Effective Latino Family Outreach Event" is available now. (To view, you must have Flash Player installed in your computer.)
