Twelve years ago, on the first day of class, fledgling teacher Erin Gruwell might have been adjudged a sacrificial lamb. Her freshman class at Long Branch, California's, Wilson High was generally regarded as hopeless; not even her students imagined that she could long survive. But instead of being led to academic slaughter, Erin incited an education revolution. Her Freedom Writers project transformed callous slackers into eager, imaginative learners. In Teach with Your Heart, she relates the story of this miraculous turnaround and the award-winning program that inspired it.
