Description

Teacherland aims to improve our education system by humanizing the teaching profession. Moving beyond oversimplified depictions of teachers as saints or slouches, heroes or zeros, it reframes the debate about what it means to teach and learn and shows--for real--what life is like behind the curtains of one of America's most important occupations.
