From Simon & Schuster, Teachers and Power is Robert J. Braun's exploration into the story of the American Federation of Teachers. Leading education expert Robert J. Braun's powerful new book, Teachers and Power is a much-needed deep dive in the American Federation of Teachers, perfect for any parent, student, or educator.
The purpose of this book is to discuss some critical components of Albert Shanker's work in American education, first as a teacher, then as president of the AFT. This is done in the context of the developments that took place in the United States since 1902 and the formation of the AFT in 1916. It focuses on the elements of leadership that were critical to the development of the United States from that time to the present. It presents these developments in the context of Shanker's involvement since 1964. It also focuses on the dynamics of human relations cast in institutional settings. In doing so it presents features of a nation as it struggled with economic, social, and political issues that make society what it is. This discussion is done as a reflection of the need to strengthen democracy. The relations that Shanker has had with other people and organizations forms a critical component of the study.
