This book explores the parallel issues for public school and higher education teachers as well as the different challenges they both face as they work toward systemic school change. The book includes narratives in each chapter depicting culture and environment of the different positions. Barriers and obstacles to educational reform specific to that environment as well as the unique strengths are discussed for each perspective. Ultimately, educational reform will need to be sustained in higher education in order to support systemic reform of the P-12 schools.
