In 1986, a group of Milwaukee-area teachers had a vision.They wanted not only to improve education in their own classrooms and schools, but to help shape reform throughout the public school system in the United States.Today that vision is embodied in Rethinking Schools.

Rethinking Schools began as a local effort to address problems such as basal readers, standardized testing, and textbook-dominated curriculum. Since its founding, it has grown into a nationally prominent publisher of educational materials, with subscribers in all 50 states, all 10 Canadian provinces, and many other countries.
