The Guide:Thoughts from Twenty Years in the Educational Trenches

by Bob Howitt

Overview

My belief is that fundamental long-term changes in society are opening up an unprecedented opportunity for Latino students, particularly given the probability of either comprehensive immigration reform or DREAM Act-centered legislation.

Simply put, the BILINGUAL, BICULTURAL LATINO STUDENT has the country coming his or her way—if fully-prepared: academically, culturally, and with documentation. This material is dedicated to assisting that student and all those involved in his/her life.

About the Author

Bob has had a varied career: partner of a Wall Street research and money management firm, leadership of a well-known NYC youth agency, and Executive-Director of the WKBJ Foundation--which provided the initial funding for North Star Academy Charter School (now a key component of the Uncommon Schools non-profit charter school organization), and which has had multiple internal education programs that have assisted over 250 financially-challenged young people to attend college. He is also a trustee of the Charles Hayden Foundation, which makes grants in NYC/Newark and Boston.

More recently, Bob has gone public with his various writings relevant to education, culture, and politics: GUIDE ("Thoughts from Twenty Years in the Educational Trenches: A Unique College Guide for Latino Students and their Supporters"), Cogent Comments (a compilation of over 80 essays), and (to come) a Latino College Assistance Guide, whose value-added is based on interviews with students helped by the WKBJ Foundation. LCAG will be available in Spanish and English.
