Teaching Tuesday: Rethinking Schools and Jonathan Kozol

Rethinking Schools is having a 20th anniversary party with Jonathan Kozol next month. RS is probably the leading progressive school reform organization in the country, with a fantastic magazine, outstanding publications, and an unflagging dedication to authentic learning experiences for children. You may recall that I relied on them heavily for my series on small school reform earlier this year. I will be at this fundraiser. I hope you can make it, too.

Twenty years ago, a group of Milwaukee-area teachers had a vision. They wanted to improve education in their own classrooms and schools and reform the public school system in the United States.

Today that vision is embodied in Rethinking Schools.

We are proud to celebrate 20 years of
• Covering issues of urban education and race
• Addressing key education policy issues
• Publishing groundbreaking education materials
• Fighting for justice and equality in our classrooms and the world
