Armando Rodríguez

Este libro trata de dar respuesta a algunos de los interrogantes planteados dentro del campo de investigación sobre teorías implícitas (por ejemplo, cómo se representan las teorías implícitas, cómo se organizan sus contenidos, cómo se construyen y modifican con la experiencia...). Proponen un nuevo marco teórico y una metodología que combina técnicas cualitativas (por ejemplo, análisis históricos y de contenido) y técnica cuantitativas (por ejemplo, cuestionarios y diseños de laboratorio).

En este libro el lector encontrará breves relatos, versos y poemas nacidos del sentimiento y escritos para ser leídos. Poesía fácil de leer y de entender, que llega al corazón porque todos, en un momento u otro hemos amado, amamos y amaremos, porque siempre hemos soñado con tener aquello que hemos anhelado.

What would be the odds of a poor Mexican boy who migrated with his family to southern California in the 1920s rising through the ranks of the American education system to become the first Hispanic principal of a junior and senior high school in San Diego, the second Hispanic to be a college president in California, and to serve in the administrations of four U.S. presidents? Armando Rodriguez spoke no English when he first set foot in the United States and was just old enough to start school in a district with few Spanish-speaking teachers. But with parents who emphasized the importance of education and who taught him the value of hard work, Armando Rodriguez became fluent in English, received a doctorate in bilingual education, and was instrumental in developing the field of bilingual education while serving as Assistant Commissioner of Education for the nation. Rodriguez recalls his inspirational journey from a short child who was so dark he was nicknamed Shadow to being influential in shaping education on district, state, and national levels. Some still call him Shadow, though it is now spoken with respect and admiration for an immigrant who overcame many obstacles to become an instrument of change for his country.Armando Rodriguez offers the gift of his fascinating life in this timely and candid autobiography of a poor immigrant child who arrived speaking no English and climbed the entire staircase of the American dream to power in Washington.--Eleanor Holmes Norton
