How Tía Lola Learned to Teach By: Julia Alvarez


Tia Lola's niece and nephew's elementary school ask her to be a teacher and she doesn't think she is good enough to be a teacher.  She ends up becoming a volunteer teacher of Spanish in a Vermont Elementary school. A big theme is if she can get used to being a teacher gaining her own confidence and if she can have her nephew okay with her her being there.  A huge topic in the book is the prejudice within the Vermont school system.
