" The Cage-Busting Teacher is an indispensable playbook for every teacher who wants to figure out how to influence decisions that get made beyond their classroom walls. With an engaging mix of stories of successfully subversive teachers and facts about how policy works, Rick shows teachers that they have more power than they realize." -- Celine Coggins, CEO, Teach Plus, "This book needs to be written. We can see internationally how a desire to improve education has led to fruits and weeds in equal measure. The key voice that has been forgotten in all this has been the not-so-humble educator. I can't agree with Hess enough: we need to stop waiting for Superman to come and fix everything, and start thinking about how we can fix things from the bottom up and inside out." - Tom Bennett, The TES, 27th May 2015, The Cage-Busting Teacher provides practical advice for teachers wishing to find the space to make creative improvements from within their profession. -- Eric Wearne , Education Review, "Finally someone (besides me) is talking about the power and authority of teachers! As educators, we have to reject the suggestion that 'You can't do that.' Push back, come up with your own ideas, and 96.4 percent of the time, you'll find that you can do important things to improve schools. Such are the cage-busters." -- Lily Eskelsen García, president, National Education Association, The Cage-Busting Teacher provides practical advice for teachers wishing to find the space to make creative improvements from within their profession. -- Eric Wearne , Education Review, "This book needed to be written. We can see internationally how a desire to improve education has led to fruits and weeds in equal measure. The key voice that has been forgotten in all this has been the notso-humble educator. I can't agree with Hess enough: we need to stop waiting for Superman to come and fix everything, and start thinking about how we can fix things from the bottom up and inside out. Maybe then we can call ourselves a profession again." -- Tom Bennett , Times Education Supplement, "In light of the increasing number of policy directives handed down to teachers, Hess' message is a welcome one--teachers can and should find the initiative, resources, strategies, and power to enact educational change on their own terms and in their own ways.The book, written as somewhat of a journalistic account with anecdotal evidence, stories, and with some references to educational research, is an accessible read that will interest teachers, administrators, parents, teacher educators, and policymakers." -- Daniel Meier , Teachers College Review, "This book suggests something revolutionary: that teachers might be the best instigators of their own re-invention rather than waiting for Superman to fix it all." -- Tom Bennett , Times Education Supplement, "The message of this important book by Rick Hess is clear: There's a lot of talent among the teachers in our schools, and it needs to be unlocked and set free." -- Randi Weingarten, president, American Federation of Teachers, "In The Cage-Busting Teacher , Rick Hess has found a way to say what has, up to this point, existed only in the minds of teacher leaders. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to strengthen our schools in ways that are practical and real." -- Alex Kajitani, California Teacher of the Year 2009, "In light of the increasing number of policy directives handed down to teachers, Hess' message is a welcome one--teachers can and should find the initiative, resources, strategies, and power to enact educational change on their own terms and in their own ways.The book, written as somewhat of a journalistic account with anecdotal evidence, stories, and with some references to educational research, is an accessible read that will interest teachers, administrators, parents, teacher educators, and policymakers." --Daniel Meier , Teachers College Review, "Hess's work will empower teachers to collaborate successfully with their principals, parents, colleagues, and policy makers and continue to have an impact on their students and communities year after year." -- Elisa Villaneuva Beard, co-CEO, Teach For America
