  About A Chance to Make History
In her new book, A Chance to Make History, Wendy Kopp, CEO and Founder of Teach For America, shares what she has learned in her twenty years at the center of a growing… Show more movement to end educational inequity in America. With inspiring stories, novel insights, and a clear vision of the future of education reform, Kopp charts a path to the fulfillment of our nation’s most fundamental ideals of freedom and equality. She shows us that we can provide children in low-income urban and rural communities with an education that transforms their life prospects, if we engage in the hard work entailed in achieving extraordinary outcomes in any endeavor – through establishing ambitious visions for success; developing capable teams to pursue the vision; building strong cultures of achievement and management systems that foster continuous improvement; and ultimately, doing whatever it takes to achieve the desired outcomes. Kopp calls for moving beyond the temptation of overly simplistic answers that can distract time and energy from the core of the solution and instead investing the energy and exerting the discipline that is producing results in growing numbers of classrooms, schools, and systems.
