The sounds of Dallas Center-Grimes High School Spanish students singing "¿Por Que Te Vas?" by Jeanette with varying levels of gusto and prodding by teacher Antton Zuazu Hernández may seem like an unusual way to learn.

But the sing-along is how Zuazu Hernández, a native of Spain, engages his students and shares his culture as part of a teacher-exchange program.

"I feel I'm a messenger in a way, and this is part of the program," he said. "We're expected to both bring our culture here and bring your culture back to Spain.”

Zuazu Hernández — who taught English in Spain — is among 26 bilingual teachers in Iowa as part of an exchange program between the Iowa Department of Education and Spain's Ministry of Education and Culture.
