Reclaiming the Teaching Profession gives educators (especially
teachers and future teachers) and their allies a clear overview of
the massive effort to dismantle public education in the United
States, which includes a direct attack on teachers. The book
details, and provides a systematic critique of, the shaky
assumptions at the foundation of the market-based reform
initiatives that dominate the contemporary education scene. It
names and exposes the motives and methods of the powerful
philanthropists, politicians, business moguls, and education
entrepreneurs who are behind the reform movement. It provides
counter narratives that public school advocates can use to talk
back to those who would destroy the teaching profession and public
education. It includes examples of successful acts of resistance
and identifies resources for challenging reformers' taken for
granted primacy in the education debate. It concludes with
strategies educators can use to "speak truth to power," reclaim
their professional status, and reshape the education landscape in
ways that serve all of America's children and preserve our
democracy.
