- Summary:
- Many people-political leaders, school administrators, school board members, interest group leaders, community leaders, parents/guardians-seek to impact education, but efforts to improve education will be enhanced if they are reality-based, and the experts on classroom realities are teachers. Anyone who seeks to improve education must listen to teachers. This book explains why and shows how.
- What Only Teachers Know about Education is lively, interactive, practical, and realistic. The author asked current teachers what they would like educational decision makers to know about the reality of teaching. The teachers expressed their dedication, their hopes, their concerns, their frustrations, and their recommendations.
