Synopsis

Explain This to Me: Our US School. A Practical Spanish-English Guide for Teachers is a guide to assist readers in building lasting communities at their schools. This book assists readers in being advocates for children and their learning so that lasting relationships will be build and opportunities will be opened. The topics listed in the book are presented in English and Spanish. They serve as a guide for teachers to understand areas in which immigrant families may need assistance to understand US schooling. At the same time, the issues are presented in a way that even monolingual English or Spanish speakers can immediately use the sections. This book is suited to be used by teachers and to be handed out to Spanish-speaking families. Specifically, culture notes throughout the book may assist them in engaging more effectively in US schooling culture. The author, an immigrant herself, is familiar with the struggles families face in trying to be part of the US school system. At the same time, and as an education professor, she appreciates the issues teachers face in truly understanding the struggles of immigrants.
