She created the Failing Schools Project, newly evolved into Reclaiming Reform, which aims to empower public school teachers, students, and parents (particularly those in so-called “failing” schools) to share their stories about what it’s really like to work and learn in schools saddled with corporate-driven education policies, and to promote alternative ways of thinking about and solving educational problems. In addition to working with grassroots education activists around the country, she recently joined the American Federation of Teachers to lead its Voices From The Classroom initiative.
