Inspirational stories of engaging, real-life educational experiences
Everyone has a personal learning story, a time when they became actively engaged in their own education. Maybe it was an especially challenging teacher, or a uniquely supportive environment, or a collaborative classroom. In Faces of Learning, both well-known public figures, such as Arne Duncan and Al Franken, and ordinary Americans recall the moments when they truly learned something.

FACES OF LEARNING
EVERYONE HAS A PERSONAL LEARNING story—a time when they were challenged beyond their usual limits, when they actively engaged in the search for meaning, or when they first discovered the power and uniqueness of their own voices.
In Faces of Learning, fifty individuals—from well-known public figures to ordinary Americans—share inspirational stories about transformational teachers, powerful learning environments, and pivotal moments of self-discovery. Taken together, these authors' stories uncover a common understanding of what it feels like and what it requires to discover one's purpose, passion, and capacity for greatness. Edited by Sam Chaltain, this important book is designed to engage us all in a thoughtful consideration of what powerful learning, highly effective teaching, and equitable school systems must look like—and what they can provide for children as a result.
Faces of Learning is divided into five sections—challenging, engaging, supportive, relevant, and experiential—each of which illuminates a core condition of the optimal learning environment. From social workers to students to the Secretary of Education himself, the individuals whose stories are gathered here help add to the collective wisdom, and help us get closer to answering the only question that really matters: "How can we best support educators in their work to create schools that are more challenging, engaging, supportive, relevant, and experiential?"
