ENGLISH
Students enroll with the same PUENTE instructor for classes over one academic year which creates a supportive environment for students through the curriculum.
The courses integrate Latino and other multicultural literature in combination with skill-appropriate scaffolding for texts that build in rhetorical and thematic complexity.
Students are also provided with an opportunity to use mentors and their communities as a resource for writing and to develop their relationships with their mentors.
The courses offer an environment that provide students with the support and motivation likely to enable them to transfer.
