The Profession Speaks: Educator Perspectives on School Reform
Murphy, Brett Gardiner
American Educator, v41 n4 p30-33, 44 Win 2017-2018
An educator, who compiled teachers' stories of accountability era reforms into a book, explains why teacher voice is central. The book, "Inside Our Schools: Teachers on the Failure and Future of Education Reform," is organized around the recurring buzzwords the mainstream education reform movement has used to define its policies: accountability, quality, choice, failure, and equity. The book also provides numerous examples of how we could do "reform" better.
