What are schools doing to improve the academic success and integration of Latinos? How successful have they been in the last decade?
Throughout the school districts of Minnesota, it is evident that many areas are highly populated with Latinos. This especially affects school districts as the Latino youth attendance is increasing. It is important to analyze the ways in which these students are welcomed and taught. Many come from homes where the primary language is Spanish and are often not motivated to do well in school. I will research the school districts in these areas of high Latino population and determine what programs or policies are being used to help these students learn.
In order to do my research, I hope to use a variety of different sources. I will need to do observations inside classrooms and interview community members and school administration to receive information firsthand. Newspapers, school district websites, journal databases, and books concerning the rise of Latinos in public schools will also be useful.

Hi! You have chosen a very significant topic. You may wish to limit it by looking at only particular districts since this is a 10 (relatively brief) paper. Also, ask first IF districts are doing anything in particular.
Good people to reference include Espinoza-Herold, V. Torres, and Darder.
