“As a Puerto Rican woman, I have come to understand that, if we do not know our own history, we are doomed to live it as if it were our private fate,”explains Boston Public Schools Superintendent for English Language Learners, Eileen de los Reyes. In the book, Pockets of Hope: How Students and Teachers Change the World, de los Reyes and Patricia Gozemba create a portrait of how democratic projects are implemented in schools and communities. In collaboration with others, de los Reyes has designed English Languge Learners (ELL) and Peer Tutoring programs for the Boston Public Schools; English as a Second Language (ESL) programs at Salem State University; and has served on the Diversity Committee at Harvard University. All of de los Reyes programs are designed to function as communities of learning, where parents, students, graduate students, faculty and administrators contribute to create an environment conducive to dialogue, reflection and action. Critical in de los Reyes processes is the assumption that students are capable of becoming democratic leaders and making a contribution in their field of choice. "The value of inclusin is core to all of the projects I have undertaken," explains de los Reyes, "Differences across race, class, gender, sexual orientation, and ability are seen as essential to the well-being of the community and not as an obstacle to be overcome.”
