"Jimmy reminds us that it always has been and always will be, about the students who walk our halls. Culturize is a powerful call to all educators to embrace our purpose -- to remember why we do what we do. Casas has devoted his career to making a difference for kids, and his passion for inspiring others to do the same is what makes this book so compelling. Filled with poignant stories from his own experiences, he encourages us all to create schools that value kids and empower them in their journey.”
