Meet 7 Changemakers Who Are Raising Their Voices for Public Education

What is Elementary Education? An Elementary Education degree provides students with knowledge and skills that will prepare them to be transformational leaders in educating the future generation. Elementary school teachers play a significant role in young students' lives. As they work to help students get an education, they also assist by improving their social skills. Elementary educators are often more than just teachers, they are also role models to students. Many of us have a story of an educator who made a positive impact on our lives.

https://lnkd.in/eMFnjUqy   The book is great, highly readable, practical, and a much-needed call to action. The Call to Courage confronts all of us, whether in formal or informal leadership roles, with the need to counter the dysfunctional and polemic attacks on local schools and districts and to stand up for the core values of public education as being inclusive, equitable, and purposefully diverse.   Shelley and Luvelle are veteran superintendents who write thoughtfully and knowledgeably about keeping clear that public education is the DNA of an improving democracy through educating independent, knowledgeable, and open-minded citizens.
