Our culture and media often simplify the choice educators face stay
in or leave classroom teaching. Written for teachers and other
educational professionals, this book dispels this simple dichotomy
by representing the range of responses and career pathways that
enable educators to make a difference. Based on interviews with
hundreds of change-minded educators, the authors share career
stories and insights against a backdrop that maps out the
complexities, roles, and structures that define professional
advancement in education. All of the teachers in this book have
taught in challenging urban contexts, fought hard to exercise their
professional autonomy and responsibility to serve students well,
navigated social networks of educators, friends, and family who
buoy or dampen their reform spirit, and remain committed to
changing society through schooling. Their stories are as
instructive as they are inspiring and offer roadmaps for the
current generation of change-minded educators.
