Educators and policymakers are looking to invest in strategies that show evidence of effectiveness. Excelencia began collecting information about "what works" for Latino students from Latino community-based organizations, educators, policymakers, and institutional leaders throughout the country. The process of identifying and cataloging programs has generated valuable information and has been critical in creating Examples of Excelencia and the What Works Collection of publications.
