Reviews

"Couldn't be better timed…exhilarating."
*Sara Mosle - The Atlantic*

"Moments of educational theater enliven and illuminate the history."
*Kate Tuttle - Boston Globe*

"Both a history of the research on effective teaching as well as a consideration of how that research might best be implemented. What emerges is the gaping chasm between what the best teachers do and how we go about evaluating what they’ve done."
*Sebastian Stockman - New York Times Book Review*

"Green has spent years looking at what makes a great teacher—and whether the teachers we remember most fondly were born great or simply learned key skills."
*Greg Toppo - USA Today*

"[S]hould be part of every new teacher's education."
*Michael S. Roth - The Washington Post*

"Elizabeth Green draws upon years of interviews and research as an education writer and CEO of Chalkbeat to make the case for why teaching is a craft and that it can be taught to anyone. Her excellent book should be read for a detailed account of the history of teacher education, an international context, and an entertaining narrative."
*Jonathan Wai - Psychology Today*

"We romanticize teachers, and we vilify them, but we don't do much to help. This beautifully written, defiantly hopeful book points the way to a better future for American teachers and the children they teach."
*Paul Tough, best-selling author of How Children Succeed*

"Elizabeth Green reveals, in cinematic detail, what makes great teaching such a dazzling intellectual challenge—and why it has taken us so unforgivably long to care. A must-read book for every American teacher and taxpayer."
*Amanda Ripley, author of The Smartest Kids in the World*
