As standardization and "accountability" have continued to increase
in the 21st century, educators and scholars of education have
become increasingly frustrated. Yet as frustrated as we are, it is
essential that we not send to our students, children and
grandchildren the message that the past was better and they "should
have been there." Instead, we must render a clear vision of what
can be. Indeed, where would we be without the vision that has
freely been given to us from great scholars, philosophers, and
artists, as well as our own teachers, friends, neighbors, and
family? We are indebted to carry forward the legacy of these torch
bearers to present and future educators. This book is a collection
of letters to 21st century educators of all age levels and content
areas. It has been compiled with the goal of fulfilling our
responsibility to share with the next generation of educators our
vision of the future, just as our predecessors and role models
shared theirs with us. Informed by the past but oriented toward the
future, this collection aims to inspire in present and future
educators hope, wisdom and imagination for addressing the
educational challenges shaped by bureaucratic, economic and
cultural forces. Authors such as Nel Noddings, Sonia Nieto, Sandy
Grande, Riane Eisler, Mike Rose, William Schubert, William
Reynolds, and many more speak directly to their readers, building a
relationship with a scholarly backbone, and encouraging: "we saved
the best for you" because "the best" is the world you will create.
