What People are Saying About This
"Teaching 2030 lays the groundwork for a bold vision for the teaching profession. Barnett Berry challenges us to rethink the ‘brick-and-mortar' education career of the past and to envision the possibilities for creating the schools we need for the future." --(Bob Wise (former West Virginia Governor and President of the Alliance for Excellent Education)
"Teaching 2030 delves into the myriad of issues that teachers face today and will confront in the future. They point out how we should restructure accountability and more in order to provide our nation's children with the education they deserve." --(Richard Riley (former U.S. Secretary of Education)
"For too long the voices of teachers have been systematically excluded from the public discourse about education. In part this book serves as an important corrective, or at least the start of one…. Our expert teachers are a resource that we should value beyond what they accomplish in the classroom, as important as that is. We need to tap their expertise and insight. We need to hear their voices." To read Ken's full review of Teaching 2030, click here. --(Ken Bernstein (TLN member and prominent Daily Kos blogger)
“A fresh take on the real future of teaching.” —Richard Riley, former U.S. Secretary of Education
“Brilliant….Everyone who cares about teaching and learning should read this book.” —Linda Darling-Hammond, Stanford University
“In this engaging volume, a notable and diverse team of accomplished teachers, and a researcher who advocates for them, explain why the teaching profession needs a dramatic overhaul and present an intriguing path to a more promising future. Whatever one's take on the particular recommendations put forth, this provocative work is a welcome contribution to thinking about how we can get our kids the teachers they need.” —Frederick M. Hess, Resident Scholar and Director of Education Policy Studies, American Enterprise Institute
“Teaching 2030 is a remarkable, revolutionary picture of the future of our schools. Blasting the intellectual meltdown shaping too much of today's education policy, Berry and his colleagues reveal extraordinary opportunities to improve our schools and serve every student. Deeply respectful of teachers, Teaching 2030 proposes how teachers and support professionals can help craft and take more ownership of their professions. This is an exciting and hopeful vision of possibility.” —Dennis Van Roekel, president, National Education Association
"Teaching 2030 is a brilliant look at the future of teaching in America from the perspective of those who know most about what it is and should be. Everyone who cares about teaching and learning should read this book." --(Linda Darling-Hammond (Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Edication, Stanford University)
