The inspiring story of one young activist's visionary effort to revitalize the United States' neediest schools. As a 21-year-old college senior, Wendy Kopp decided to transform the education system in America. From her dorm room at Princeton University, she set about creating Teach For America, a programme that sends outstanding college graduates to teach for two years in the most dilapidated and under-resourced urban and rural public schools in the United States. Since the first group of teachers entered classrooms in 1990, over 5000 TFA corps members have been placed in teaching positions all over the country. With their astonishing classroom success, these young teachers have proven that it is possible for children in low-income areas to reach the same level of academic achievement as children in more privileged areas. One Day, All Children tells the remarkable story of one young woman's tenacious grasp on a seemingly impossible dream.
