What Teachers Make – Taylor Mali

I was first inspired to write during Mrs. Shea’s fourth grade class when she had us pen a short story and read it out loud in front of the class. I will be forever grateful to her for helping me find my passion at such a young age.

So it seems apt that today, the day after Labor Day, I salute teachers for all the work they do in and out of the classroom, since I’m fairly certain most kids and teachers are back in school now.

I give you Taylor Mali, a poet and teacher, and his famous “What Teachers Make.” Here’s to all the great teachers out there.
