The Courage to Teach Reading Group

In my reading group's book, The Courage to Teach, Parker Palmer focuses on (gasp!) the teacher and not learning. This is a refreshing view from an education guru and one I happen to share. I see my role as union president as making room for teachers to do their jobs to the best of their ability without undue influence from outside forces. I know that giving teachers the freedom to do their jobs will directly benefit their students.
