Although the Latino student population is growing, they are underrepresented as teachers. This book focuses on Latina/o teachers who are teaching Latina/o students. Their stories offer valuable insights gained from coming up through the K-12 system as students, and then becoming part of that same system as teachers.
Ochoa conducted in-depth interviews with 16 teachers with a wide range of teaching experience. This information was supplemented by interviews with school officials and by observations of classrooms and schools over a two-year period.
Like Gloria Ladson-Billings’ book, The Dreamkeepers , this book focuses on the stories of eight teachers to more vividly highlight the larger issues facing schools and the practices that will better serve the students who are struggling within them.
