Teaching 2030 What We Must Do for Our Students and Our Public Schools....Now and In the Future
Ihave had the privilege of co-authoring this book with Dr. Barnett Berry and 11 other teachers across America. [|Teacher Solutions 2030] Our book, published by Teachers College Press, is available on [|Amazon]. I am thrilled to be a part of such an exciting project with many very talented teachers. Although the book has been published, our work has really just begun! See a video about the [|book project]
