Teaching Towards Tomorrow

A first year English teacher at a high poverty school - trying to make it work while doing my part to change education (and loving it all in the process).

When I'm not prematurely graying, coaching and writing lesson plans, I read too much fanfiction, drink too much hot tea, and pet the cat. I also have problems accepting that fictional characters are not real.

Some say that today’s students have lost their passion. And we may be to blame — many argue that we’ve drubbed it out of school. With dropout rates remaining problematic, how do we reengage a lost generation of students? 

I wrote this piece for the Atlantic as part of a series I’m doing on teaching and education. I believe that we, as teachers, CAN do things to engage our students. It is possible.
