A compelling, heartwarming case for teachers as global changemakers in everyone’s backyard - nothing short of a lesson plan for hope.
As the largest professionally trained group in the world, teachers know who is sick, missing, orphaned by disasters, and at risk for human trafficking. They are the glue that holds society together, and a development army in everyone's backyard. Teachers are not the problem. They are the solution. Their voices must be heard. In the Small Places is a testament to teacher changemakers for our world’s intractable challenges: education in emergencies, corruption, racism, war, human rights, and girls’ education. Eleanor Roosevelt once asked, "Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home? - ?so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.” In the Small Places is about teacher agency in those small places - writ large.
