Todd Ruecker publishes in the Journal of Hispanic Higher Education

Professor Todd Ruecker has the lead article in the latest issue of the Journal of Hispanic Higher Educationhttp://jhh.sagepub.com/content/current

The article is "High-Stakes Testing and Latina/o Students: Creating a Hierarchy of College Readiness," Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, October 2013 12: 303-320, first published on July 4, 2013 doi:10.1177/153819271349301.

This article examines how high-stakes testing policies can constrain the way teachers at predominately Latina/o high schools teach literacy and subsequently influence the success of Latina/o students at college. It is based on a year and a half study of seven Latina/o students making transition from a high school to a community college or university on the U.S.–Mexico border.
