There are a great many ways to tell a teacher’s story so that the public can appreciate the value and the humanity in what we do. We just learned about a teacher, Jeff Kelly Lowenstein, who web-published a tribute to his own 4th grade teacher — an autobiographical piece following the teacher’s career and his own life right up to the teacher’s retirement. You can read it at www.onmyteachersshoulders.com . Jeff’s wife Dunreith tells me that they’ll be setting up a place on the site where people can share their own stories.

So let’s help get this fine story out to more people we know.
