Publicity for What Teaching Means

Work is continuing on What Teaching Means. A few authors are working with editors to finalize their pieces. Contracts are going out. And, finally, we are starting to make plans for a promotional tour for the book in late spring and early summer 2012. We'd like to visit some of the 17 states represented by the authors in the book. We'd love to visit bookstores, coffee shops, and so on. Anywhere that will support teachers and the art of teachers. We would be especially interested in events in Nebraska (of course), Colorado, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Oregon since a few teachers from each of those states are included in the book. Any ideas?

Our Work Has Begun

Thanks to 85 teachers in 27 states who submitted their teaching stories for What Teaching Means: Stories from America's Classrooms. It was a great pleasure to read all these stories. We have now chosen the 39 essays that will be published in April of 2012 by Rogue Faculty Press. Check in here for updates about our progress.
