This is the inside story of the more than 8,000 recent college
graduates who have joined Teach for America and committed two years
of service to teaching in the nation's most troubled public
schools. These inexperienced teachers come to class armed with
little more than their idealism and the conviction that every
student, regardless of race or background, deserves an excellent
education. They take the toughest jobs at the toughest schools in
the toughest districts, and they face the raw realities of
America's public education system: dilapidated schools, too few
books, and overcrowded classrooms. Written in the tradition of
Studs Terkel, Lessons to Learn showcases the insights of a wide
range of individuals with real life expertise, combining interviews
and essays from TFA corps members and alumni as well as principals,
superintendents, parents, and noted education experts. Current and
former TFA members reflect on their teaching successes and
failures, the life lessons they gathered along the way, and their
insights about the challenges facing out nation's public schools.
Education professionals and other experts help establish the
broader context of the fight for meaningful public education
reform. Lessons to Learn is essential reading for teachers,
parents, policy makers, and anyone who cares about the fate of this
nation's struggling public education system.
