Stand and Deliver


Connected with every student
· Encouraged students to look at the bigger picture, made it less over whelming to learn. – Went to restaurant and talked to Ana’s father about her possibly being able to go to college one day

· Paid attention to each student, treated them how they needed to be treated.

· Caught attention by dressing up

· Not intimidated by students

· Had a good attitude, wanted to teach

· Turned real life situations into lessons

· Truly believes that student can learn. Didn’t let other teachers stop him from teaching. "Our kids can’t handle calculus, we don’t even have the books"

· Embarrassed student into doing work, completing assignments

· Took extra time to teach kids, wanted them to get ahead

· "Angel" expressed he wanted to "get straight"after leaving class.

· Mr. Escalante says "All you see is the turn, not the road ahead" to the student who though working was more important than school. "Wouldn’t you rather be designing these cars?"

· Claudia says to her mother "I’m doing this so I don’t have to depend on some young guy for the rest of my life."

· Mr. Escalante said "I want to teach" when asked by neighbor why he quit his job

· Pressured Angel into answering question, did not give up on him

· Shows students home life. Kids/taking care of parents/poverty. "Turn off light" while girl is studying
