"The American Public School Teacher"provides an unflinching look into the classrooms of our nation s schools and offers an overview of the current environment that could serve as a survey course on public education. The authors have convened a stellar lineup of scholars, teachers, government leaders, and policy makers to dissect and prognosticate about the future of schools. The result is an honest, provocative assessment that underscores the complications of meeting our oft-stated national goal of helping all students achieve at higher levels. Anthony S.

Michael Keany, School Leadership 2.0" "The American Public School Teacher: Past, Present & Future proved informative and would be a useful resource for teachers and school administrators. It also would be useful to college faculty who are teaching courses in teacher education and educational leadership." Elaine Giugliano, School Administrator" This is a stunning achievement. The authors mined a trove of data about public school teachers dating back to 1955, then asked a diverse group of thoughtful men and women to analyze, interpret, and comment. Interspersed among the essays are anecdotes from teachers and former teachers, some of which will tug your heartstrings. You will have favorites among the essays I did but very few will disappoint."The American Public School Teacher"is a modern-day book of revelations.
