The purpose of the article was to explore how a teacher was able to navigate the secondary school structure, community/national Discourse, and her own classroom pedagogy to implement the Spanish for Heritage Speakers course. Data suggested that teachers, school and district administrators, teacher-educators, and families in the community all played significant supporting roles in the effort to create a successful heritage language course at the secondary level. This collaborative research project generated recommendations for secondary teachers and administrators as well as teacher-training institutions.
