Teacher Newspaper Columns to Build Community Support

Our latest podcast interviews are now available for your listening pleasure on the NCTE website. Harry Ross and I interviewed Kevin Hodgson, Massachusetts middle school teacher and member of the Western Mass. Writing Project. He explains the WMWP partnership with the local newspaper, the Hampshire Gazette, to feature teacher newspaper columns once a month. These focus on powerful teaching and learning moments in teachers’ classrooms. You can read some of the columns on a site Kevin has put up at https://www.box.com/s/y8inydlzu58x1xnoxbgp .

We hope this inspires more teachers around the country to arrange similar teacher-newspaper partnerships. Kevin explains how to do it, why it’s a valuable action to take, and why school administrators will appreciate it.

Thanks for having me. It was great to talk about our project and to plant some seeds for other teachers and educational groups (like NWP) to get the word out about the innovative ideas going on in classrooms.
