For the past five years Dr. Pancrazio has driven to Little Village schools on report-card pickup days. He’s brought along some 250 college students on his trips. All are advanced students of Spanish. Nearly all plan to become teachers themselves. Pancrazio talks to his college students about conveying cultural perspectives. He tells them Hispanic parents often spend lots of time expressing gratitude for teachers’ work. And he tells them they might end up translating conversations about immigration or health—since the school may be parents’ main connection to this society.
