Engel, associate professor, retired, Lesley University'This book is a moving and powerful collection of teachers' work that holds the possibility of inspiring and changing new teachers' practice.'Kathy Schultz, dean and professor, School of Education, Mills CollegeFor teachers oppressed by stateimposed regulation, for those preparing to teach and just entering the schools, the stories in this book are lifelines to the future. These are stories that safeguard and illuminate a vision of classrooms, of children, of teaching as an artof what can be, of what is possible. Educating children to be makers of works, to be pursuers of learning for its own sake, is what this vision is about. From the Introduction by Patricia F. Carini, cofounder, Prospect School
