Teachers today are faced with critical challenges: Standards and testing that limit the exercise of professional judgment; increasingly intrusive managment and surveillance of teachers' work; underfunded mandates; scripted curricula that discounts teacher creativity and ingenuity; and criticl social factors, such as the resegregation of schools. A system of strong, well-funded public schools is the core of a true democracy, and well-trained, empowered teachers are key.

Centering on the theme of teaching for participation in a democracy at a time when the foundations of democracy are being shaken by global and domestic factors. Teaching for a Democratic Society focuses on issues of power, decision-making, representation, and control of the profession from a multiplicity of viewpoints.
