#TeacherLife
by Victoria WangWelcome to #TeacherLife! This project was created to provide a space for educators to voice their passions, stories and struggles in the world of teaching. In doing so, I hope to create community, find ways for teachers to support one another, and instigate conversation and action to better the lives of teachers and, consequently, our educational system.
