The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics invites you to:

A Conversation on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education with Bright Spots in Hispanic Education via Google+ Hangout on 

Wednesday, March 16, 2016 at 2:00 pm EST

As part of the 25th Anniversary Year of Action, the Initiative made a national call for Bright Spots in Hispanic Education and announced over 230 during Hispanic Heritage Month. To elevate the work, including promising practices, of these Bright Spots and learn from their experiences, the Initiative is hosting a series of public engagements, via Google + Hangout over the coming year.

These interactive sessions will provide an opportunity to hear from programs, models, organizations, or initiatives that are helping close the achievement gap, from cradle-to-career, for Hispanic students, and for discussing ways to continue moving the needle on progress for Latino students and families.

The next in the series of monthly Hangouts, will take place on Wednesday, March 16, 2016 from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. eastern standard time and will focus on STEM education and the Latino community.  And, in honor of Women's History Month, the conversation will also look at how this work impacts Hispanic girls and women in particular.

Future Google +Hangouts are planned as follows:

• Latino teacher recruitment – April 20, 2016
• Early Learning – May 18, 2016

The Hangouts will be broadcast live from Washington, D.C. and viewers can participate via the Web stream, or by sending questions in during or in advance of the event through Google+, Twitter, Facebook or email.

For more information about the Google+Hangouts or the Bright Spots, please visit www.ed.gov/HispanicInitiative or send us an email at WHIEEH@ed.gov with “BrightSpot” in the subject line.

We look forward to hanging out with you soon!  RSVP and Watch here: https://plus.google.com/u/4/events/c6qh5k62ii4hohe2neo4ocis3cc
