The Author: Greg S. Goodman's experiences with disaffected youth have spanned three decades. His appreciation of students' maverick personalities makes him a natural alternative school teacher. He currently works with at-risk youth as a school psychologist and teaches at California State University, Fresno.

«Greg Goodman knows a great deal about creating alternative approaches to education through democratizing the experience and learning of students and I am pleased that teachers now have the opportunity to share Greg's expertise and his passion for social justice.» (From the Preface by Peter McLaren)
