About the Book

Learning from Latino Role Models provides teachers with instructional resources that can be easily used in classroom settings so that they are culturally responsive to their Latino students. The book has two parts: Part I offers 20 sets of activities designed around Latino role models, and aims to help students learn how Latinos offer unique contributions to this nation. It is expected that these resources can help Latino schoolchildren find inspiration to realize their own goals. Part II offers 20 sets of activities around select picture books that reflect the Latino community and cultural heritage. The activities are designed to help children come to identify with the stories’ controlling themes as they address Latino culture, history, values, and experiences. In all, the instructional sets are complete with questions that motivate critical thinking; activity ideas that reinforce the meaning or the intended message of the story; and vocabulary to enhance students’ communication skills. Additionally, each set comes with corresponding worksheets for the students to complete.

Review :
Learning from Latino Role Models is an amazing resource for all teachers and all classrooms that wish to be responsive to their diverse population of students. The quality instructional activities and materials are enriching for all and can easily be incorporated into any curriculum across grade levels. I can definitely see myself using this reader-friendly book as a resource over and over throughout the school year. Learning from Latino Role Models is a wonderful resource to use in the classroom, especially the activities given to help differentiate instruction to our diverse learners. These activities and stories will help reinforce to our Hispanic population that they can be successful in so many different fields and subjects!
