Theme: A Marathon Towards Educational Transformation:
Affirming the History, Culture, and Language of Hispanic/Latino Students

The Office of African, African American, Latino, Holocaust, and Gender studies welcomes you to its 9th Annual Hispanic/Latino Studies Summer Institute. The topics and strategies discussed in this year’s institute will be conducive to the development of an equitable learning experience for our Hispanic/Latino students, which will help to increase their academic achievement. The goal of the annual summer institute is to help increase cultural competence among district personnel and assist in the development of culturally responsive instruction and curriculum. The Infusion of Hispanic/Latino History is an imperative part of creating a culturally relevant curriculum, which is imperative to the academic success of all students.
