For LET THE TEACHER’S SPEAK anthology: 

Are you a classroom teacher? Did you work on/at a school site for the 2020–2021 school year? Do you have something to say about the year as a whole? Well, we want to hear your stories.

Let The Teacher’s Speak: Teaching Through COVID 19 is an anthology written for and by educators. We want to capture the voices from the classroom and give them a platform because too often, when education is the topic of discussion, the teacher’s perspective is (OFTEN) left out.

Our mission is to amplify voices from across the country and around the world in the hopes that their stories and experiences will become a part of the greater discussions surrounding the future of education. So… what are you waiting for? Submit today!
