"A diary for a social entrrepreneur, an inspiring how-to guide
for young people with big dreams, a thoughtful tale of the ups and
downs of a decade at the stunningly successful non-profit
organization"--New York Times
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.
