Hey, NBC! There are Great Teachers here in Education Nation

In anticipation of NBC News’ assault on public education, Education Nation, I decided to collect some inspirational tales of teaching excellence.

I hope you enjoy reading these stories and will share your own.

1. Me and Mr. Jones (about a 7th grade computing teacher who made me feel powerful)
2. “Social” Studies (about the two gentlemen responsible for my social activism)
3. Walking Among Giants (about a late great singer & my junior high music teacher)
4. A School Story (about collaboration with my high school jazz teacher)

If you share your own stories about excellent teachers, please use the hashtag #greatteaching
