Teacher's Guide Sampler: Elevating Latino Stories

Welcome

I have been fortunate to have worked at every level in education: educational assistant, teacher, principal, central office administrator, and superintendent. My nearly three decades of experience as an educator has taught me that the success of our students happens in our classrooms and teachers must have access to the tools they need to inspire learning. Books and the discussions that educators and students have around these books are resources that can be key to the kind of success we want for all students. The books typically found in elementary school classrooms today may already include some excellent titles, but these titles most often feature stories about White protagonists and fanciful animal characters. Our children need more. They need opportunities to expand their learning with wonderful literature that reflects the variety of cultures and experiences in our society.
