Karen Embry-Jenlink, EdD, is a professor of doctoral studies within the department of secondary education and educational leadership in the James I. Perkins College of Education at Stephen F. Austin State University.

America must intentionally recruit great teachers beginning in high school because at the end of the day, great teachers make great schools. In her book, Dr. Embry Jenlink assembled descriptions of the best teacher recruitment and induction programs in the U.S. Her book is carefully researched and thoughtfully edited. I highly recommend it to anyone who is committed to transforming America's schools, making them the best in the world.
