This new model of teacher unions is organized around issues ofquality teaching and professional development, as well as economicfairness. The authors propose strategies for expanding theinfluence of unions by involving them in the setting of educationalstandards, evaluating teacher performance, and promoting careersecurity. The authors have established United Mind Workers web pages thatcontain portions of the book, research reports, and work inprogress as well as links to other labor and teacher reform webpages and links to the authors' electronic mail boxes.
