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.
- Includes stories from people of all different backgrounds and from all over the country
- The stories are grouped into categories by theme like "relevant" and "experiential" to help reveal the common characteristics of what works in education
- Each chapter ends with five things you can do to improve your own learning, that of your students, and of all Americans

From the Back Cover
"Great learning experiences can′t be confined to a textbook or a curriculum; they won′t be found in the pages of a standardized test. The men and women profiled in Faces of Learning get that. Their personal stories will move and inspire you to cultivate richer learning experiences not just for the kids in your life but also for yourself."
—Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind
"Faces of Learning is a treasure trove of recollections to remind us that education is most powerful and transformative when it occurs within a supportive relationship and taps into the intrinsically human desire to know and understand. A must read for those who′ve grown tired of the nation′s fixation with measuring achievement and who seek to be inspired by others who appreciate that learning can be about so much more."
—Pedro Noguera, author of The Trouble with Black Boys
"The 50 stories here confirm that educational achievement is always intensely personal. As the national debate on education gathers momentum, Faces of Learning is an elegant reminder that nothing counts more in raising the bar than creative, inspirational teaching. It should be read and acted on by anyone with a serious interest in what really makes the difference in education."
—Sir Ken Robinson, author of The Element
"A great education is not about standardized tests and numbers; it′s about helping children learn to use their minds well. The stories in Faces of Learning remind us of that central truth, and of the difference that teachers make, and how their influence extends far beyond simple scores to shape people′s lives."
—Diane Ravitch, author of The Death and Life of the Great American School System
