Reviews
"In each of the subsequent chapters, the authors grapple with the demand of Chicago teachers, exploring its relation to education policy and philosophy. In doing so this book provides a rich, rigorous, and wide-ranging analysis of what is at stake in the war over public education as it relates to the search for a democratic, egalitarian, and socially just society" (238). -Peter Brogan, Labour/Le Travail 77 (Spring 2016)

Synopsis
Written by activist educators, Worth Striking For speaks to teachers about the drastic changes in the landscape of public education, and focuses on what they need to know about the debates and complex issues of reform affecting their lives and professions. The book identifies the most significant shifts in education policy, including how policy has affected the broader educational purposes of schools., Written by activist educators, Worth Striking For speaks to teachers and teachers-to-be about the drastic changes in the landscape of public education in recent decades and focuses on what they need to know about the debates and complex issues of reform affecting their lives and professions. The book identifies the most significant shifts in education policy, including how policy has helped or hindered the broader educational purposes of schools. Using the 2012 Chicago teachers strike as a framing device, the authors demonstrate how each of the policy areas addressed is critically important to teachers' lives and work. Each chapter describes one of the Chicago teachers' demands, and then explores a related policy arena through the lens of an associated philosophical purpose of education. The text features individually authored vignettes that juxtapose the authors' personal experiences with the issues, bringing policy and policy activism to life. This hopeful book will inspire and empower teachers to take action in their schools, communities, districts, and states. Book Features: An accessible introduction to education policy for classroom teachers. Grounded in the day-to-day human experience of the teachers and students affected by education policy. An engaging style that presents research and argument in a way that invites reflection and conversation, perfect for courses. A clear explanation of policy issues and their relevance to teachers, helping them feel confident to have a voice in the broader conversation about education., Written by activist educators, Worth Striking For speaks to teachers and teachers-to-be about the drastic changes in the landscape of public education in recent decades and focuses on what they need to know about the debates and complex issues of reform affecting their lives and professions.
