This book is a memoir of my experience as an urban educator. The setting is in my Spanish classroom. The book is that it gives the reader a framework, common language and a guide from whence to operate.

Teaching is a tough and sometimes thankless profession but it’s also equally rewarding when one considers the ultimate impact and outcome.
