Passionate Warrior: My Charter School Journey by Jacqueline Elliot

How can one person impact public education in the United States? Driven by a dream of an education system that worked to serve all students and help them reach their full potential, regardless of where they lived or their socio-economic status, Jacqueline Elliot committed herself to education reform in Los Angeles. Galvanizing one hundred families in a relentless quest, Elliot worked to create a better public school option for their children. Following her journey from a teacher in one of the city's most socio-economically challenged neighborhoods to a forward-thinking education entrepreneur who fought to create and sustain the PUC network of high-achieving public charter schools, Passionate Warrior: My Charter School Journey demonstrates the power of what can be accomplished when individuals unite in one vision. Passionate Warrior is a call to action for those who care about the future of our children and inspires all who care about U.S. public schools to become catalysts for change in their communities.
