Having first appeared as columns within School Administrator magazine, Houston's insights are organized around six chapters: "On Being a Leader", "Putting Kids First", "The Value of Public Education", "Transforming School Reform", "Seeing America Through a Distant Mirror", and "At the Movies". Steeped in his passions, theories, and extensive travels through the heart and soul of American education as we've moved from the last millennium into this one, Houston's philosophical and practical advice on how educators might improve their work and make the world a better place for our children will interest and inspire educators everywhere.
