"Over the past 50 years, teachers have been pushed into a corner and roped in with many demands. We're now faced with the task of finding common ground. What are we doing wrong? We're not doing anything wrong. That's just it, we're not losing anything; we're still getting our job done," says Pedro A. Noguera Frederick M. Hess in this audiobook for beginners about finding common ground in education.

Pedro A. Noguera Frederick M. Hess, known for his work in the field of education, has written a book about the toughest questions in K-12 education to be published in 2019. The book is a collection of interviews that are meant to provoke discussion about how we can best educate our future generations. Today's educational structure faces an ever-changing landscape with an ever-growing need for innovation and change. The interviews will help educators see what others are doing around the world to meet these needs and will provide a glimpse into some of the conversations they should be having while they develop their own programs.

In the spring of 2015, Pedro Noguera published "A Search for Common Ground: Conversations About the Toughest Questions in K-12 Education," a book that is an attempt to bridge the gap between two opposing viewpoints in education as based on his own personal experiences as an educator and researcher. In it, Noguera sets out to discuss with "a diverse group of people... how we might better serve our children" and his work is an effort to address the polarized nature of discussions about education by getting at "the underlying issues" and finding common ground.

This audiobook is a series of conversations that took place at the Harvard Graduate School of Education's 2014 Common Ground: Conversations About the Toughest Questions in K-12 Education conference. The conversations take place among scholars and educators from different parts of the country, representing different regions of the world and levels of experience. Some are high school students, some are college professors, some are teachers and administrators, and others have been in education for decades.

It is difficult to find common ground in the challenging and sometimes contentious issues that face educators today. From education reform to standardized testing, these discussions are not always straightforward or easy to navigate. In fact, they often lead to moments of great frustration and conflict.
