Improving the Faculty's Effectiveness in Increasing the Success of Hispanic Students in Higher Education—Pronto!

Abstract

This article examines the role of the faculty in increasing the success of Hispanic students in higher education and offers suggestions for improving teaching effectiveness. As educators, some professors operate from a teaching- oriented paradigm, whereas others are more learner oriented. Learner-oriented techniques such as client-sponsored projects, classical music, and brain exercises are methods to accelerate Hispanic students' learning, therefore increasing the success of Hispanic students in higher education.
