Abstract | The educational experiences of Latinas are affected by the interaction of many factors, including poverty, racism, sexual harassment, and lack of English language proficiency. This Spanish-language digest presents a range of strategies that schools can employ to promote the academic achievement of Latinas. Schools should communicate that Hispanic culture is valued and integrate it into programs and services that help mitigate differences between school and home. Schools should also individually tailor support for Latinas and their families to accommodate their diverse needs and perspectives. School staff should communicate that all students are expected to graduate and to succeed academically, helping Latinas understand that they can value familial interdependence without subverting personal goals. Schools can facilitate learning for Latinas and increase their engagement in the school community by providing educational services needed to ensure their educational preparedness and by developing a fully multicultural curriculum. It is important for schools to create an environment where students believe that their requests for help will be positively received; help Latinas access community health services; and facilitate parent involvement in order to increase their commitment to their children's education.
