Cultural Diversity Institute: The Hispanic Learner 

Phi Delta Kappa Fall Meeting 

Tuesday, November 13, 2012 

6:00pm 

Texas A&M University-Commerce Metroplex Center 

2600 Motley Drive, Mesquite, Texas 75150 

Leadership Room 

Who is the Hispanic Learner? What factors need to be addressed in
fostering achievement for the Hispanic Learner? What do we need to know
about the family, home, language, and culture of the Hispanic child?
What do we need to know about the development and learning styles of the
Hispanic learner? How can the school become culturally responsive to the
needs of the Hispanic student? What schools have been successful in
embracing the culture of the Hispanic population? What strategies have
these schools implemented that can be replicated by other schools? 

School personnel will leave this Institute with a concrete idea of
modifications needed to create a culturally responsive learning
environment that reflects the Hispanic Culture.
