Maribel's First Day is a narrative description of the first day of
school experience for a teenage Mexican American high school
student. During this one school day, Maribel Rivera goes to five
teachers' classrooms and describes what she sees, hears and
determines how she will judge these experiences. She will assess
and analyze the school, the staff, the teachers, and the
instruction. As she discovers what is happening at the school for
other students, she decides if the environment will contribute to
her present search for identity and survival. The purpose of this
book is to offer insights for perceptions of school experiences
through the lens of a Mexican American female student. The book
provides vivid descriptions of teacher instruction and student
interactions collected through a research study. Through the use of
this student's narrative perspective, teachers, teacher leaders,
instructional coaches, and campus administrators can create common
language for building congruence in a culturally dissonant
environment to impact relational and academic achievement for
students of color and those from poverty.
