TEACHERS

Listening and
LEARNING
We wanted to better understand teachers’ ideas and
experiences in their own voices, unfiltered.
What issues are at the forefront? What are teachers saying when
unprompted? We closely analyzed what teachers have been saying online
and found patterns among the edchats, blog posts, and tweets. We call
these patterns narratives.
These narratives are windows into how teachers view everything—their
classrooms, their profession, and the education system as a whole.
Anyone who wants to impact
education needs to understand
these perspectives. Here are
some of the views that teachers
have about their profession.
These are their words directly—
not summaries of what they said.
