Cultural Attributes and Adaptations Linked to Achievement Motivation Among Latino Adolescents

“…Some examples of interventions that may increase school belonging among Latino student's include mentoring programs, culturally relevant extracurricular activities (e.g., soccer, Latin American clubs), interventions that focus on improving teacher expectations (Weinstein et al, 1991), and interventions that focus on improving the quality of supportive relationships within the school (e.g., Comer et al, 1996;Felner and Adan, 1988).
