Transforming Classrooms with Writing and Voice

Today we are playing an excerpt from a series called "Writing as Healing". This series was a collaboration with author Liz Prather. In this episode she's in conversation with Willie Carver, who is a poet and the 2021 Kentucky Teacher of the Year. We'll hear about Willie's approach of using student writing as the classroom textbook which not only bypasses censorship, but also validates student voices. And Willie's personal journey of healing through poetry, models how educators can use vulnerability and storytelling to foster resilience and empathy in their classrooms.
