“The Teacher Wars” Hits the Bestseller List, Plus More




I am astounded and thrilled to report that The Teacher Wars has debuted at #8 on the New York Times bestseller list for nonfiction. Here are some new ways to learn about the book:
A lovely and perceptive short review from The New Yorker, calling the book “engaging…thorough and fair minded”
Nick Romeo of the San Francisco Chronicle writes that the book is “careful…nuanced”
Doug Henwood interviews me on his fascinating radio show, Left Business Observer
The National Memo published a short excerpt from Chapter 6 about LBJ, teaching, and poverty
An hourlong call-in segment about the book from San Francisco NPR affiliate KALW, with host Rose Aguilar
In a podcast, New America Foundation President Anne-Marie Slaughter and I discusscultural attitudes toward teaching and gender
I’ll be posting a series of new public events across the country in the coming days and weeks, so stay tuned!
