Here, Don Cameron addresses the compelling story of the teacher
revolution that took place in America in the 1960s and 1970s. It
gives an insider's view of what happened, how it happened, and who
made it happen. It tells why teachers in America organized into
unions and became more militant in the 1960s. American teachers had
been taken for granted, under appreciated, and underpaid for almost
two centuries. When collective bargaining statutes were enacted in
many states during the 1960s and 1970s, teachers embraced those
laws with gusto and determination. In the process of doing so, they
revolutionized the teaching profession and the National Education
Association. This story also delves into why and how the NEA
changed its philosophy, programs, and structure to accommodate the
revolution from within. Overall, The Inside Story of the Teacher
Revolution in America gives insights into the character of teachers
and the obstacles they have to overcome in order to do their jobs,
and provides a historical background of both the value of public
education to this country as well as the under valuation of
teaching and teachers.For individuals with an interest in teaching
and education.
