Postcard from the Middle Level Section: There Is Honor and Honesty in Student Voice

Students don’t always have a choice—about what class to take, what to read, who will teach them. Sometimes, teachers don’t have a choice, either. But talking to other teachers … about any of it … brings a sense of community, triggers new enthusiasm and ideas, and reinserts choice into a teacher’s professional life and, ultimately, their students’ lives. NCTE offers myriad ways to join that community and find that support.
