One Day, All Children… The Unlikely Triumph of Teach For America and What I Learned Along the Way by Wendy Kopp
From her dorm room at Princeton University, twenty-one-year-old college senior Wendy Kopp decided to launch a movement to improve public education in America. In One Day, All Children… , she shares the remarkable story of Teach For America, a non-profit organization that sends outstanding college graduates to teach for two years in the most under-resourced urban and rural public schools in America. The astonishing success of the program has proven it possible for children in low-income areas to attain the same level of academic achievement as children in more privileged areas and more privileged schools.
One Day, All Children… is not just a personal memoir. It’s a blueprint for the new civil rights movement–a movement that demands educational access and opportunity for all American children.
