Teacher Wall is a virtual teacher town square where America's educators can share their stories, knowledge, and ideas on our nation's school. The Wall's topics showcase a wide range of voices and provide teachers with a chance to interact, share, and learn from one another, all while contributing to the conversation on American education.
NPT, with a grant provided by the Center for Media Engagement, interviewed a variety of teachers and asked them about their inspirations, engagement with parents, challenges and more.
