Descrição: As national confidence in public education erodes, there has been a search on television and in films and books for the good teacher - Marva Collins on ''60 Minutes''; Jaime Escalante in ''Stand and Deliver.'' Last year, Tracy Kidder's ''Among School Children'' described a year in the life of a grammar school teacher. Now we have [Samuel G. Freedman]'s ''Small Victories,'' an account of a year in the life of a high school teacher. For 150 years, the neighborhood around Seward Park has been a first home to foreigners, and it still is. Today's neighborhood signs are apt to be in Spanish or Chinese. ''Small Victories'' does not tell us very much about the special needs of immigrant children. Despite the fact that 90 percent of Seward Park students come from homes where parents do not speak English, Mr. Freedman does not evaluate debatable innovations like bilingual education. Partly this is because Ms. [Jessica Siegel]'s students are seniors - most have been in America for several years and know their way through American English. At a time when college professors shy away from the notion of a common American canon, Ms. Siegel teaches her students the 17th-century Puritan poetry of Anne Bradstreet. Ms. Siegel succeeds because she will not condescend to the ''social disadvantages'' or ''cultural diversity'' of her students.
