For far too long teachers have faced a lack of respect, excessive external pressures, budgetary crises, and general frustration that creates a revolving door for the most qualified professionals. This book advocates for a new level of professional freedom that will allow teachers to do what they love-teach.Well intentioned education reform advocates have attempted to reform the American education system for more than half a century. Most of these reform efforts have been designed to impose top-down mandates on our schools and teachers.A better solution would be to free teachers to teach.
