Pedagogue Bonus: Advice to First-Time Teachers (w/Nancy Sommers)

In this bonus episode, Nancy Sommers talks about creating a classroom community, thinking and responding as a writer, and teaching one lesson each day.

Here's one of my favorite quotes from the bonus episode:

"Be yourself. That's what I love about teaching is that my voice, my voice on the page is the same voice in the classroom. I'm a Jewish mother. I feed people. I bring cookies to class. You just have to be yourself. You can't imitate somebody else. The voice in the classroom has to be your own voice."
