What Teachers Make by Taylor Mali
In praise of the greatest job in the world...The right book at the right time- an impassioned defense of teachers and why we need them now more than ever.
Teacher turned teacher's advocate Taylor Mali inspired millions with his original poem "What Teachers Make," a passionate and unforgettable response to a rich man at a dinner party who sneeringly asked him what teachers make. Mali's sharp, funny, perceptive look at life in the classroom pays tribute to the joys of teaching...and explains why teachers are so vital to our society.
What Teachers Make is a book that will be treasured and shared by every teacher in America-and everybody who's ever loved or learned from one.
Taylor Mali is a well-known poet who rose to prominence through the poetry slam movement and was one of the first poets to participate on HBO's Def Poetry Jam. He accomplished a 12-year initiative of inspiring 1,000 individuals to become teachers by donating 12 inches of his hair to the American Cancer Society. He is a four-time National Poetry Slam champion. In New York City, he curates the popular Page Meets Stage reading series.
