Strengthening Teaching
Inspired by Teachers. Again.
The first few work days of a new school year are often frenetic and overloaded with everything from professional development and lesson planning to cleaning and putting up bulletin boards. During one of their back-to-school workdays, English teachers from Baltimore County offered ED a precious gift: almost two hours' of their time talking with Teaching Ambassador Fellows (TAFs) about policy, politics, and what it means to be a teacher today. Read TAF Jen Bado-Aleman's reflection from the discussion. Bado-Aleman is a teacher on loan from Gaithersburg, Md.
