Editorial Reviews
Review
As its clever title suggests, the book looks ahead with futuristic fervor to a radically new kind of teachers' union, one that would be more suited to our dawning "knowledge society" and to the most promising strategies for education reform.... All this makes for laudable vision, to be sure, but it is also an exceedingly naïve one in the absence of a plan for how to get from here to there. -- Commentary, Chester E. Finn Jr.
Product Description
This new model of teacher unions is organized around issues of quality teaching and professional development, as well as economic fairness. The authors propose strategies for expanding the influence of unions by involving them in the setting of educational standards, evaluating teacher performance, and promoting career security.
