The isolated Newfoundland outport where Don and Jan Sawyer land their first teaching jobs is a village strapped by poverty and rocked by social change. The local high school is, in a word, terrible. Hoberly Cove is a place and a people Don Sawyer knows nothing about... but he soon learns. And in the process he learns a lot about teaching. 
This is a superbly written, true and moving story, full of warmth and respect, which most educators and would-be teachers will find completely absorbing. It will encourage you, and at times astound you. 
Mike Rose, professor at UCLAs graduate school of education (and author of Lives on the Boundary and Possible Lives) says: "I am so glad this classic book is back in print; Ive been recommending it for years."

Tomorrow Is School and I'm Sick to the Heart Thinking About It

Sawyer, Don

Counternarrative is a genre of "hard times"--of economic, political, and social disenfranchisement. It tends to emerge in response to perceived threats to principles, practices, and resources about which we care deeply. In "good times"--when resources and privileges are (more) equitably distributed within society, the impetus for challenging the status quo is negligible. Until there is some felt-sense of personal or communal dissonance, there is no need for public stories of incompetence, abuse, inequity, or anomie. 
The time for counternarratives of teachers work has arrived. The effects of funding cuts to health, education, and social services combined with technology-instigated unemployment have transformed public schools in North America into omnibus social agencies where teachers are expected to serve not only as intellectual and moral mentors but also as surrogate parents, social workers, counsellors, security guards, cultural ambassadors, paramedics, and psychologists. 
The stories in this collection are stories of revelation rather than celebration. The authors speak of the fears, frustrations, despair, weariness, insights, and resilient hope they experience as they try to make daily meaning of their work with children, colleagues, parents, and administrators. Their stories, while emotionally charged, are not rants. They are political acts of care and resistance through which the authors attempt to make visible and open to scrutiny the work they do and the conditions in which they attempt to do this work.

College Style Sheet, 3rd US edition

The changing character of school leadership in British Columbia is the subject of the essays found in this volume. Through these essays we see how provincial school leadership changed from the time of the gentlemen scholars who staffed schools and the government's small Education Office in the Victorian Era to the men and women who administer today's complex school system as superintendents, principals, and educational bureaucrats. The essays in the first part of the volume examine the character of school leadership in its oldest, most centralized, and most colonial form. Here we find provincial school superintendents and their inspectorial brigades struggling to bring some measure of order, standardization, and equality to schools scattered across an enormous provincial territory. In the volume's second part, the angle of vision is decidedly different-reversed in fact. Here the school leadership activities of men and women outside the "inner circle" of government are investigated-trustees, locally-appointed superintendents, principals, teachers, and public representatives who often saw the needs of children and communities from a vantage point far different than that of the educational civil service, and who, in more than a few instances, withheld assent to the dictates of the Education Office. These narratives take a "bottom-up" rather than a "top-down" view of leadership, illustrating civic battles for educational independence, the vagaries of city and small-town politics, local indifference to the plight of rural teachers, and women's century-long struggle to gain access and recognition in school leadership's highest ranks.
