Relatively little is known about the dilemmas that bilingual teachers face in negotiating between the dominant culture's requirements and minority students' predicaments and aspirations. This article is the outcome of a year and a half of participant‐observation research on a Hispanic (Puerto Rican) bilingual teacher's strategies and handling of these dilemmas. This teacher's thinking about her role and practice and the beliefs and values that shape and interpret her pedagogy are discussed.
