Overview
Veteran educator Herbert Kohl's love affair with teaching began forty years ago with his first encounter, which he chronicled in his now-classic 36 Children. Starting with his years in New York's public schools and during four decades of working with students from kindergarten through college across the country, Kohl has been an ardent and vocal advocate of the notion that every student can learn and every teacher must find creative ways to facilitate that learning. In The Discipline of Hope he distills the major lessons of an attentive lifetime in the classroom.Synopsis
