TC featured on Education Post

CCSD teacher and SNWP Teaching Consultant, Stacey Dallas Johnston, reflects on being a teacher during this moment in our nation.  In her piece, “My Hands Will Ache and My Voice Will Shake, But I’ll Be the Change That Helps Protect My Students,” Johnston writes, “I want my students and my own children to be able to see people standing together in solidarity to make their futures safer, more accepting and more loving. I need them to know that their school days are about poetry, equations, science and building relationships, not about dissecting the room for places to hide from gunfire.”

Congratulations new TCs

SNWP is proud to announce four new Teacher Consultants (TCs).  It is with great excitement that we welcome Holland Meyer, Sandra Matusiak, Kali Copplin, and Kelly Collier as Teacher Consultants in our organization.

Each of these esteemed teachers completed our Writing Institute during the 2017-2018 school year during which they explored what it means to be a writer and what it means to be a teacher of writing.

In the coming weeks, we will share their experiences here in the blog.  There is a lot to learn from reading about their experiences this school year.
