A couple of teaching strategies that can be used for teaching Hispanic Americans include:
1. Avoid segregating students into their culture group and don't allow them to do so either.
This enforces the idea of community in the classroom. When we have students more integrated into a community we see everyone working with each other getting the tasks assigned done. We also find that there is less in the way of segregation and some biases are resolved.
2. Offer more hands on activities.
With more hands on stuff all the students are learning to do the same thing and those Hispanic Americans that don't know quite so much English and have a harder time learning through lectures would be able to learn through example of other students. This allows all students to have the same learning experience with out as much of a learning barrier.
