> 
> Inspired by a discussion on the NAME ListServ started by Gina Boltz 
> of Native Village, we are volunteering our time to publish an inspirational
> book that will help both teachers and the National Association for
> Multicultural Education. The discussion centered on the struggles of 
> P-12 teachers in the era of No Child Left Behind. Increasing demands 
> on teachers coupled with low teacher salaries have left many 
> educators demoralized. Teachers are leaving the profession in 
> alarming numbers. Within the next 5-10 years the profession will 
> lose a significant percentage of teachers to retirement. We want to 
> help revitalize the teaching profession and remind ourselves and the 
> general public of the great power in teaching to change the lives of 
> our young people. We are all former and current classroom teachers 
> who believe passionately that a sound, equitable education enriches 
> us all and contributes to creating that just society we all struggle 
> to achieve. We will not give up. We will not lose hope. Please join 
> us in our efforts by contributing a personal story.
