Participants’ Perspectives
“ For the first time in my career, I am thinking like a writer. I am much more aware of the process. It definitely has made an impact on my life!”
Shelly Baltin
Passaic City Public Schools

“ I absolutely loved the experience. Through the weekly readings, the discussions that took place both in the classroom and online we were able to connect with our colleagues who face many of the same issues that we are currently contending with in our individual schools. Additionally, we were all encouraged to dig down deep inside of ourselves and identify with the writer within us. Each week we grew just a little more.”
Kristen Seker
Hillsborough Township Public Schools
