By telling stories we breathe meaning into our lives.
By writing stories we make sense of our world.
By sharing stories we affirm community.
Teachers as Writers and Protagonists
Do you have a classroom story to share? Or a social justice experience to tell? Every teacher has a good classroom story.
Is this summer the time to uncurl your muse, stretch out your own mind, and try writing it down?
Share your story and develop your skills, resurrect and cultivate your personal mission as a teacher. Bring school literature to read aloud,
perhaps Frank McCourt’s Teacher Man or Sylvia Ashton Warner’s Teacher or Sometimes a Shining Moment by Eliot Wigginton or
Anton Makarenko’s radical Pedagogical Poem.
Develop your own writing. Help your students by recharging and renewing yourself through self-expression—prose or poetry.
Beginning teachers and writers, as well as seasoned professionals, are welcome.
Facilitated by Phil Davis and Kathryn Keve, Global Source offers this program as a weekly summer series.
Global Source is also proud to present The Bright Yellow Envelope, by our colleague and
veteran educator, Phil Davis, who taught for 16 years at Spectrum Community School in Kingston, WA.
We thank Phil for sharing his story with us and hope you will find it as compelling as we have.
