Testimonios de Inmigrantes: Students Educating Future Teachers

Using testimonios, this article calls attention to the identities and plight of undocumented immigrant children in U.S. schools. Often ignored in the literature, immigrant children face many hardships and endure racist experiences as non-English speakers in U.S. society. We urge that testimonios be used as pedagogy, especially to educate future teachers and to raise the consciousness of people who do not have sympathy for immigrants, especially immigrant children, as they encounter an unfriendly and often hostile educational system.
