In The Future of Our Schools, lifelong teacher union activist Lois Weiner explains why teachers who care passionately about teaching and social justice need to unite. She argues that putting energy into efforts to self-govern and transform teacher unions is desperately needed. Drawing on research, her experience as a public school teacher and as a union activist, Weiner explains how to build the type of teachers unions that are desperately needed by the public education system.
Lois Weiner has been life-long teacher union activist, who has served as an officer of three different union locals. She also served as President of the AERA Special Interest Group on teachers’ work and teachers unions. She is the author of Preparing Teachers for Urban School which was honored by the American Educational Research Association (AERA) for its contribution to research on teacher education.
