Common Lit: "What Teachers Make" by Taylor Mali

CommonLit.org is a wonderful resource to use in a Language Arts classroom. Each text is accompanied by guided reading questions, assessment questions, and discussion questions. In addition, students can click on words to see the definitions, choose to have the text read aloud, and have chosen text translated. In this text, slam poet Taylor Mali explores the criticism that educators often receive and challenges it by discussing the great achievements that teachers are responsible for.
