Reclaiming the Classroom: How America's Teachers Lost Control of Education and How They Can Get It Back
ABOUT RECLAIMING THE CLASSROOM With increasing pressure to conform to state mandates and drive test scores, today’s K-12 educators may feel like they have little control in their own classrooms. The individual needs of the student—and the indispensable role of the teacher—can take a backseat to bureaucracy and so-called progress, making teachers accountable to high-stake test scores, not to what matters student learning. Despite all the inaccurate and negative rhetoric about teachers in America, there is still a way to reinstate teachers as the most vital source of classroom innovation and change the trajectory of K-12 education. Reclaiming the Classroom traces society’s journey from trust to fear around education in general and teachers in particular, offering a road back to professionalism, autonomy, and respect.

This book has some good ideas for educators teaching in today's
American Schools. I like the idea of getting back to basics and
remembering what is most important in our job as educators.
This book leaves you with a feeling of hope and a list of things
to implement in your own school and classroom.
