Sommario/riassunto

"Between Caring & Counting raises serious questions about how to sustain a genuine ethic of care within the current educational climate. Counteracting despair with hope, this work explores positive alternatives and provides encouragement for teachers to exercise agency in their lives and to continue to work toward a just and equitable public education system."--Jacket.
