Title
Alice Tijerina oral history transcript
Description
A transcript of an oral history of Alice Tijerina, Home School Consultant at Thomas Middle School, on Hispanics in the Hillsboro schools. Ms. Tijerina has lived in Hillsboro since 1966 and has been a Hispanic liason with State representative John Meek. She is currently a home school consultant and works with the migrant program. Some goals of the school district are to decrease the drop-out rate and recruit bicultural teachers. Tijerina expresses her feeling that the ESL program can sometimes segregate the students too much. She would like to see a bilingual program for all students. She received a scholarship from OSU for a Bilingual Teacher Pathway program. They are in partnership with the district to recruit bilingual teachers. She will do an internship with the ESL program.
