Established in 1996, the Pura Belpré Award is named after a pioneer in Latino librarianship. Pura Belpré revolutionized the role of Latinos and people of color in the library field and empowered the Puerto Rican community through her work. Pura Belpré Award-winning titles are highly recommended for use by librarians, educators and parents, and so it is our pleasure to feature this year’s winning and honor books. A teaching guide and an online video about Pura Belpré are available through Hunter College’s Center for Puerto Rican Studies at https://centropr.hunter.cuny.edu/research-education/education/pura-belpr%C3%A9-documentary-teaching-guide

NYU Professor Launches Mobile App to Promote Bilingualism in Hispanic Children

NYU Steinhardt Assistant Professor of Applied Psychology Dr. Natalie Brito launched, Háblame Bebé, a free educational mobile application for iOS and Android operating systems, which provides Spanish-speaking parents with the tools to engage with their infants and toddlers in both English and Spanish with the goal of developing early bilingual learners and reducing the ‘word gap’ in low-income Hispanic children.

Improving Spanish-speaking Teachers

Texas Woman’s University Introduces a Bilingual Program A federal grant at Texas Woman’s University (TWU) is helping bilingual and in-service teachers become better educators by improving their bilingual skills.   The program, which launched in 2016, is called PIONERAS, the Spanish word for “pioneer.” In 2017, 24 graduate students and 42 undergraduates who are all bilingual and in-service teachers participated in it.

Hispanic-serving Institutions

According to the U.S. Department of Education, “a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) is defined as an institution of higher education that—(A) is an eligible institution; and (B) has an enrollment of undergraduate full-time equivalent students that is at least 25 percent Hispanic students at the end of the award year immediately preceding the date of application.” While this definition nicely sums up the requirements a school must meet to become an HSI, being an HSI and truly serving the Hispanic community goes beyond statistics. And so we here at Hispanic Outlook are running an ongoing article series highlighting those schools that have achieved HSI status and how they are truly Hispanic-Serving Institutions.
