In her book Renegade Teacher: Inside School Walls with Standards and the Test, former urban school teacher Dr. Katherine Scheidler shows how schools can better serve all students. In the mid-1990s, Dr. Scheidler moved from the classroom to the epicenter of school change as Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment, and Professional Development in several Massachusetts school districts. In her book, Scheidler illustrates the challenges and victories of standards and testing for all students, and she discusses how schools must still change to better support those classroom heroes who work every day with children.
