The Book

 

Increasingly public education’s character is under assault. This collection of essays by noted scholars, teacher activists, and teacher
union leaders from around the world fuses personal stories, research, and political analysis, explaining why such profound and damaging changes are being made to schools and teaching, and how teachers, their unions, and supporters of public education can
make real the goal of quality education for all the world’s children.
