About Excellent Teaching

"Education can be a head game...an affair of the mind. But teaching is an affair of the heart. If you are like me, you probably can think of one or two teachers in your lifetime that have changed how you view yourself and the world, and thus, helped change your future. Those 'magicians' are the ones that challenge us; encourage us to dream and to achieve."

In collaboration with the Cotsen Family Foundation, the Hechinger Institute has developed a web site for journalists and the public to help identify what great teaching looks like. Visit it here.
