Lesson Plans, a blog from The New York Times, chronicles five teachers’ experiences during their first month of the new school year. The teachers include a poet and performer, two MetLife Fellows in the Teachers Network Leadership Institute—one of whom teaches a bilingual Spanish-English class in San Francisco—a first-year teacher from Teach for America, and a 28-year veteran English teacher. The teachers recount a typical day at school, tackle politics in the classroom, deal with disruptive students, and more.
