ABSTRACT
Our vision for the Educar model, Dar luz illuminates transformative ways of thinking, knowing, and being in exemplary bilingual education teacher programs. Dar luz-as a transformational framework-provides constructs representing who we are as bicultural bilingual beings and promotes our desire to prepare bilingual education teacher aspirantes/candidates, who are bien educados. In this text, the term aspirante refers to bilingual education teacher candidates, unless otherwise speci‹ed. Transformación and revolución are the impetus driving the conceptualization of teacher preparation through the dimensions of iluminación, praxis, and concientización.
