Teacher in the Rye: Saving Public Schools from Threats from the Right and the Impact of AI
By Frank Thoms
An interactive talk based on Frank Thoms’s new memoir, his teaching life: “Teacher in the Rye: Doing It My Way.”
In all seven of his books, he writes to encourage teachers to take ownership of their classrooms. In “Teacher in the Rye,” he also urges the public to support classroom teachers, because public schools have been the backbone of America and must continue to be.
