Refusing to be disheartened by all the negative press surrounding education today, Ms. Chenfeld travels the country and encounters one inspiring educator after another. In this article she tells four of their stories. The stories of the following educators are told: (1) Tom Tenerovich, a second grade teacher; (2) Cathy Arment, a first grade teacher; (3) Dee Gibson, a first grade teacher; and (4) Anne Price and Claudette Cole, Partners in Educating All Children Equally (PEACE), traveling to schools, programs, and conferences, spreading very simple messages--especially to administrators who too often don't attend workshops that are aimed directly at the heart.
