Education World – Nicole Gorman
“Sean McComb, high school English teacher and 2014 National Teacher of the Year, describes on the Department of Education blog the negativity he was involved in and surrounded by last year. “Last year I found myself, and many of my friends, caught up in the tempest surrounding the teaching profession. From viral resignation letters, to magazine covers, to court cases, our vocation seemed to be in everyone’s crosshairs. And for many, those narratives crowded out the joys, the laughs, the hard-fought victories, and the heart-wrenching challenges that give us such a deep love for teaching,” he said. Also last year, he, a few friends and some partner organizations banded together to rise above the negativity and create a campaign that highlights the joys of the teaching professions.”(more)
