In this episode, Mark Gurgel and Matthew Castilleja interview Vicente Escalante. Vicente Escalante is from the city of Mexico, the Aztec Empire, where he obtained his bachelor's degree in Nature Sciences and started teaching biology and chemistry in Middle and High School before he came to the U.S. He is currently a bilingual ECSE teacher, and a brand new NBCTS in exceptional needs.  He is a veteran teacher, but I feel my learning never stops.
