In Praise of American Educators: And How They Can Become Even Better confronts the criticism that American educators and public schools have faced in the 21st century. Author Richard DuFour has become increasingly frustrated by the unfair characterization of today's teachers and principals. He highlights what educators have accomplished in spite of unprecedented challenges. DuFour addresses the criticisms head on, describing how counterproductive legislation and policies that have led to shortcomings must be replaced with positively impactful processes and recognition for what educators are doing right. He acknowledges that the stakes are high for 21st century students, and the challenges for educators are daunting as they seek to alter the traditional culture of public schools and become even better.

Excerpt from Great American Educators: With Chapters on American Education Children do not often play that they are poets or inventors, soldiers or sailors, but they love to play school and church. One of the first aspirations of ordinary children is to teach or to preach. The teacher and the preacher are their early ideals of greatness. This results from what they see and know, and not from anything that they hear about these leaders. They are told of the acts of heroic soldiers and sailors, of great orators and inventors, of famous poets and artists. But teachers and preachers are rarely the subjects of stories; and they seldom in any way give an impression that there have been great leaders in either of these professions. Most teachers take pleasure in relating to their pupils inspiring stories of famous men and women who have made the world better by having lived in it.

A joyous collection of tributes-both original and previously published-that celebrate the gifts of remarkable teachers. Teachers have always made an indelible impression on their charges. Now, in this new book, Gloria Wade-Gayles has brought together a winning and touching collection of pieces about teachers and teaching, with inspiring and dramatic anecdotes woven in. Each story offers a new and unique perspective on some of our country's most beloved teachers. With pieces by legendary writers like Langston Hughes and Alice Walker, we see how a strong teacher can turn a nervous child into a world renowned artist. Robin D. G. Kelley frames a short history of busing with a sweet story about having a crush on his third grade teacher. Marian Wright Edelman celebrates Howard Zinn's teaching style, his insistence on exploration and questioning; and Zinn himself provides an opinion on the profession he has practiced for most of his life. But we also hear from a diverse group of students: writers who were part of the first wave of integration in their school system and immigrants who learned to speak English and participate in American culture in their schools. We get stories from Catholic schools, pubic schools, college classrooms, and more. In this age of standardized testing, In Praise of Our Teachers is a wonderful reminder of the immeasurable influence that teachers will always have on their students.
