Dear Mrs. Wright, by Jan Wright
Jan Wright's creative memoir compares the hopes and trials of a new teacher with the aspirations, challenges, and accomplishments of the seasoned teacher she becomes. A young California girl gets her first teaching job with a class of forty-three sixth graders, starting mid-year 1972 in a rural elementary school in the Florida panhandle, one year after mandatory busing for integration. The next school year, she starts over in an inner-city school in Virginia, continuing her search for how to be a better teacher. The story then jumps forward three decades to Crittenden Middle school in Silicon Valley in California to reveal the growth of her style, her maturing aspirations, and the challenges of teaching at the end of her journey as a classroom teacher in 2003. "What makes a great teacher?" Mrs. Wright asked her seventh graders on the last day of her classroom teaching career. Those students' letters inspired this unique memoir of a teacher's journey.| SKU | Unavailable |
