Poet Teachers

"Having a poet-teacher in my classroom through California Poets in the Schools is an inspiration. I relish these chances to play with words along with my students, to explore important ideas and memories, to let go of being the teacher for a while and just to enjoy having another adult's skill in getting ideas flowing through my classroom."
