Full title of kit: “La Vista de Largo Plazo – una conversacion entre hija y padres, 30 años despues que se fue de casa a estudiar en la Universidad" (Translation: The Long-Term View: A conversation between a daughter and her parents, 30 years after she left home to study at the university) This is a unique parent-engagement kit for educators serving Spanish-speaking immigrants and their school-age children.

Four questions by the daughter (bilingual award-winning author/publisher/veteran Graciela Tiscareno-Sato) with her parents (Mexican immigrants now American citizens in their 70s and 80s, with adult, college-educated children) yield powerful messages for today's Latino parents who are immigrants. The kit includes a workshop facilitator guide and a worksheet for parents to use at the workshop BEFORE they view the DVD and hear Arturo and Tina’s story. A complete transcript translation of the conversation on the DVD (in Spanish) into English is included.
