The purpose of this article is to identify the best practices across the K-20 pipeline that work for Latina/o students for the purposes of developing a framework for Latina/o student success. The authors suggest that the field needs to be explicit when it comes to recognizing “what works” and encourage researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to embrace an additive approach when examining and creating future directions for Latina/o student success.
