- Summary
- "Many of the shortcomings of American education can be traced to the fact that there is a critical shortage of qualified teachers in the classrooms. The teacher crisis is surprisingly resistant to current reforms and is getting worse. This important book reveals the causes underlying the seemingly insoluble problem and offers concrete, affordable proposals for effective reform."--Jacket.
