New Book Display: Teacher Stories, Memoirs & Reflections

Offering a glimpse into the daily lives of educators, Teacher Stories, Memoirs, and Reflections showcases the joys and struggles of the profession – one which brings out the passion, dedication, and profound impact that teachers have on the lives of their students. Their narratives may spark conversation about critical topics in schooling, while building community and support for the many challenges they face or the accomplishments they share. Often the first year of teaching is the hardest, shown by the prolific number of memoirs in urban settings, especially for the country’s largest public school systems - New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

As we welcome new students to their first year at Teachers College, we hope you will be inspired by these educational narratives, some classic, others new, that complement scholarship by lending personal voices with meaningful experiences to the student teacher’s journey that traditionally begins in the classroom.

At Everett Cafe, you'll find a new book collection every few weeks that relates to current events, education, or learning environments.
