In \u003ci\u003eEducational Courage\u003c\/i\u003e, veteran educators and activists Nancy Schniedewind and Mara  Sapon-Shevin bring together the voices of those who are resisting market-driven initiatives such as high-stakes testing, charter schools, mayoral control, and merit pay. The diverse narrators who write in this volume confront the educational agendas that undermine teachers’ judgment and knowledge, ignore the different backgrounds of students and parents, and debase the learning process. Yet these educators, parents, and activists also offer stories of resistance and hope as they fight to uphold the ideals of democratic public education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNancy Schniedewind \u003c\/b\u003eteaches in the master’s program in humanistic\/multicultural education at the State University of New York-New Paltz.
