The White House has extended an invitation to a Google+ Hangout as part of the 25^th anniversary Year of Action, the initiative that made a call for national “Bright Spots in Hispanic Education.” The event will take place on Wednesday, December 16, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. EST. Over 230 Bright Spots were announced during Hispanic Heritage Month.

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.

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

Future Google+ Hangouts include:

• Post-secondary completion – January 20, 2016
• Family Engagement (in Spanish) – February 17, 2016
• STEM Education – March 16, 2016
• Latino teacher recruitment – April 20, 2016
