1. Maxine Greene… “We acknowledge the harshness of situations only when we have in mind another state of affairs in which things would be better. Similarly, it may only be when we think of humane and liberating classrooms in which every learner is recognized and sustained in her or his struggle to learn how to learn that we can perceive the insufficiency of bureaucratized, uncaring schools. And it may be only then that we are moved to chose to repair or renew. What I am describing here is a mode of utopian thinking: thinking that refuses mere compliance, that looks down roads not yet taken to the shapes of a more fulfilling social order, to more vibrant ways of being in the world…” (Releasing the Imagination, 1995)

22. What is being said about Teaching 2030… “A fresh take on the real future of teaching, Teaching 2030 delves into the myriad of issues that teachers face today and will confront in the future. Barnett and his colleagues pose bold ideas for recruiting and rewarding teachers. They point out how we should restructure accountability and more, in order to provide our nation’s children with the education they deserve.” —Richard Riley, former U.S. Secretary of Education and former Governor of South Carolina

23. “There is no other person in our country that captures the teacher voice like Barnett Berry. In his new book, Barnett works with 12 expert teacher colleagues in describing what teaching must look like in 2030 and what we need to do now. It is a call for policymakers and the to recruit the brightest and best to join our ranks and prepare them to lead the way for transforming the public schools. This is a must read for all practioners and policy makers to ensure our schools are ready to prepare our students for 21st Century Careers.”—Dr. Betsy Rogers, 2003 National Teacher of the Year

24. “Teaching 2030 lays the groundwork for a bold vision for the teaching profession. In championing a student-centered profession, Barnett Berry elevates the voices of expert teachers on how to rejuvenate the educator workforce through policy and practice. He challenges us to rethink the ‘brick-and-mortar’ education career of the past and to envision the possibilities for creating the schools we need for the future.” —Bob Wise, former West Virginia Governor and President of the Alliance for Excellent Education

25. “Teaching 2030 is a remarkable, revolutionary picture of the future of our schools. Blasting the intellectual meltdown shaping too much of today's education policy, Berry and his colleagues reveal extraordinary opportunities to improve our schools and serve every student. Deeply respectful of teachers, Teaching 2030 proposes how teachers and support professionals can help craft and take more ownership of their professions. This is an exciting and hopeful vision of possibility.” —Dennis Van Roekel, president, National Education Association

26. “In this engaging volume, a notable and diverse team of accomplished teachers, and a researcher who advocates for them, explain why the teaching profession needs a dramatic overhaul and present an intriguing path to a more promising future. This provocative work is a welcome contribution to thinking about how we can get our kids the teachers they need.” —Frederick M. Hess, Resident Scholar and Director of Education Policy Studies, American Enterprise Institute

27. “Teaching 2030 is a brilliant look at the future of teaching in America from the perspective of those who know most about what it is and should be: accomplished teachers. Working with Barnett Berry, himself a former teacher and one of the nation’s foremost experts on teaching, these voices frame the issues and the possibilities with passion, knowledge, and insight. Everyone who cares about teaching and learning should read this book.” —Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E.
