Description

A transcript of an oral history of Linda Coble, Director of Assessment and Staff Development for the Hillsboro School District, on Hispanics in the Hillsboro schools. Ms. Coble ensures that schools take action to lessen the achievement gap between the white students and Hispanic students, from Brown vs. Board of Education. The hispanic population is growing, it is projected to hit 40% by 2010. The district is working to develope programs to aid Hispanic students. This began with migrant schools and ESL, now includes SLOP and Read 180 (a visual aid to vocabulary), Spanish literacy and Hispanic students. The Office of Hispanic Outreach helps assess problems. McKinney Elementary has achieved most success at closing achievement gap.
