Author Interview: Esmé Raji Codell
Posted by Karen on 28 Aug 2009 | Posted in: Author Interview, Workman Publishing
It's hard to believe, but the book Educating Esmé is ten years old. I remember reading this book for the first time and alternately shaking my head, giggling, and gripping the edge of my seat. More than anything, I wanted to spend an hour, a day, a week, or a year in that classroom. In case you haven't read it, Educating Esmé tells the story of first-year teacher Esmé Raji Codell and her students in a Chicago public school. While her approach isn't exactly by the books, Esmé certainly is effective and inspiring.
