Reflections on Starting The 2021 School Year

<div>Veteran teacher Dr. Jamie Collins and novice teachers Natalie Davey and Rachel Evans discuss the challenges, joys, and practicalities of teaching in the English classroom. We believe there’s beauty in storytelling, there’s beauty in reading, and there’s beauty in learning. Sometimes, though, the beauty is difficult to see through the things that make teaching difficult: isolation, a mountain of expectations, complicated school systems, and finding the best ways to teach students.

A community of empowered teachers.&nbsp;</div>
