Abstract

Partnering for School Success (PSS) is a family education program for immigrant Latino parents or care-givers of children in high school. The Children, Youth and Families at Risk (CYFAR) program is a partnership between University of Minnesota Extension (Extension), Triton School (in Dodge Center, DGC), and Faribault Schools FRB. This program focuses on two of the major factors related to academic achievement for Latino students – family and school environments. CYFAR PSS includes three interrelated components of 1) Family strengthening education, 2) Family school partnership, and 3) Latino school navigators who act as a liaison between parents and schools. As part of the family strengthening education, Extension has implemented the Open Doors with Higher Education program (Abriendo puertas con educación superior in Spanish), referred to as Open Doors in this report, during winter 2015 and spring 2016. This evaluation report summarizes the Open Doors trainings provided to the Latino families enrolled in the program.
