This portfolio was created by a recent graduate from the Master
of Arts in the Teaching of Languages program at the University of Southern Mississippi and was based on the ten INTASC standards.
" . . . no learning experience
was more painful or damaging than the silence imposed on our Mexican culture, history and beautiful Spanish language. To speak
Spanish was not only illegal but also a sin: 'Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I spoke Spanish in class and during recess
. . .'
And this is one reason why I write
-- to express those beliefs and to teach what was once a silent sin. . . . Blessed be the teachings
of many cultures in the classrooms!"
~ from Drink Cultura by José Antonio
