Estella worked at the Orange County Office of Education training teachers to receive their English Language Development authorization. They served on many local, county and state educational committees. Through their work and vision, they influenced many educators and state legislators. Chuck Acosta was one of the co-founders of the California Association for Bilingual Education (CABE). Without their vision, tenacity and true belief in the power of bilingual education, CABE would not exist today.
