Rethinking Schools "Nineteen years ago a group of Milwaukee-area teachers had a vision." Thus begins the story of a small group of educators who banded together to improve the teaching in their schools and advocate for educational reform across the U.S. They grew into an independent, nonprofit publisher of the quarterly journal Rethinking Schools and of longer-format publications on critical topics in school reform -- all of which they make available for a modest fee. They also offer free, in-depth articles that address a myriad of issues facing teachers (such as sex education, bilingual education, terrorism) and tools for teaching about the war in Iraq. As this dedicated group moves towards its 20th anniversary, it remains devoted to equity in schools and the vision that public education "is central to the creation of a humane, caring, multiracial democracy."
