“I’m so glad Community Works Journal has managed to survive so many years, especially in these difficult times for small publications....

Key reasons for its survival are the consistently high quality of the articles and their immediate usefulness to teachers. This is a resource that truly speaks to teachers with excellent, provocative ideas. I’ve been using articles from it in my own teaching of teachers on the graduate level for some time now and students always find those readings especially helpful.

This is an important contribution to those of us who see the classroom and the school as inextricably linked to the life of the community. Thanks for keeping it going!”
Steve Seidel, Ed.D, Bauman and Bryant Chair in Arts in Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education

“This publication conveys so clearly the voices of teachers talking to other teachers; that’s a real pleasure. It not only offers the products of shared work and reflection among teachers, it models it. The Workbook’s message in the medium is: You can do this too.”
