The book is not just instructive for those concerned about education. It should also be required reading for anyone in the nonprofit sector who wants to improve an existing organization or start a new one. It tells how Ms. Kopp as a college senior transformed her senior thesis at Princeton into a movement for educational reform throughout the United States. Would-be do-gooders who want to help make some part of the American Dream a reality for others can learn from this model of commitment, leadership and intelligence. The book is not a puff piece about the success of the TFA, but a detailed account about the false starts and many mistakes made by Ms. Kopp that can hopefully help others to avoid. This book is about how to be an effective change agent in a world that needs thousands more like her.
