I am currently working towards my teacher certification by lateral entry and needed information on the Hispanic aspect of education. Our ESL teacher at my elementary school directed me to our school's ELL website. You are a link off that page. What a world of information I found!!! I ended up reading more than I needed to know, saved some of the books for children for my future reference, and kept a few other things as resources for me for later on. I was so impressed that I wanted to complement you on how easy to use yet in-depth your site is. I will check here often just to see what you have; very, very, very impressive!! Thanks so much!
