Captured Fireflies

by Meredith Newlin

Overview

A classroom is not always streamlined and rational. But all the imperfection somehow doesn't stop me from loving the job of teaching.  If you're wondering whether this profession can still bring you joy -  despite the headaches and heartaches - then what I'm learning along my journey might be useful to you.  John Steinbeck once wrote of insights he and his fellow students brought to his teacher, like captured fireflies.  These chapters are my captured fireflies--a compilation of truths and insights about teaching that my students show me each day. Fireflies shine brightly when set free. And when they are, we all get a chance to walk in the light.
