Educating America: How Ralph W. Tyler Taught America to Teach
"[C]aptures the essence of a man whose accomplishments far exceeded both the recognition he received and his own perception of them. Tyler would have enjoyed it. Indeed, he might well have bequeathed it as a legacy to us all from which we could go on learning from him. Tyler once said that, before retiring each night, he asked himself what he had learned that day and how he might use it. Each of us might read a little of Finder's slim volume each evening and contemplate what we learned and how we might use it to better our lives and those of others. Finder has given us the memorial that most appropriately reflects that quintessential teacher, Ralph Tyler, and the opportunity to learn from him again as though he were still our living mentor."-John Goodland Professor and Director, Center for Educational Renewal University of Washington, Seatle
