Roberta Israeloff directs the Squire Family Foundation, an educational advocacy foundation that champions the inclusion of philosophy in the public school curriculum, and that helped launch both PLATO (Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization) and the National High School Ethics Bowl. A teacher and editor, she has also authored or co-authored over a dozen books, including four volumes of personal non-fiction, and scores of short stories, essays and articles appearing in national publications. George McDermott has taught students in all junior- and senior-high grades; in rural, suburban and inner-city settings; and in central, charter, and neighborhood schools. He has also spent decades as a speechwriter and ghostwriter, helping business executives, research scientists, economists, physicians and designers communicate accurately and effectively-and sound as articulate as they are talented in areas other than communication.
