A look ahead:
New American Teacher format makes its debut in September

American Teacher is being redesigned, and although it’s not an extreme makeover, we think the smaller format and new typefaces and graphics will appeal to AFT members and other readers of American Teacher. The publication will continue to keep you up to date on classroom resources; union news, policy and recent AFT initiatives; education trends; and important federal legislation. Have a great summer, and we’ll see you in September.
