Midday's Back To School Special

In this two-hour program we meet six highly motivated teachers, including an English teacher who became the 2014 National Teacher of the Year, an elementary school teacher who uses the wetlands to teach her students everything from science to civics, and an urban designer turned teacher at Carver Vocational Technical High School. We’ll find out what brought them to the profession and hear about the creative ways they are engaging their students.
