The Academy of Poets wants to encourage teachers to teach poetry in the classroom. To support teachers, the group has launched a new education initiative called Teach this Poem.
Teachers can sign up to receive a weekly email which will feature one poem along with teaching resources and activities around the poem. Here is more about the program from the website:
Produced for K-12 educators, Teach This Poem will feature one poem a week from our online poetry collection, accompanied by interdisciplinary resources and activities designed to help teachers quickly and easily bring poetry into the classroom. The series is curated by our Educator in Residence, Dr. Madeleine Fuchs Holzer, and will be available for free via email beginning September 2, 2015.
