Abstract
This interview with Dr. Alma Flor Ada, conducted after the California Council on Teacher Education Conference, addresses multiple educational issues that teachers face in the public school system. Critical literacy, teacher education, parent involvement, and critical pedagogy are the major themes Dr. Ada discusses in this interview. To this end, the reader is invited to reflect on the aforementioned themes and, consequently, examine conditions that are shaping the academic trajectory of Latinos and other culturally and linguistically diverse students in the United States.
