Teaching Writers Speak is for educators, researchers, and creative folks like us who view writing as a vehicle for change, both in our institutions and in the world at large. We chat with teachers, professors, community educators, and researchers to better support one another as teachers of writing, our students as writers, and our work as scholars in the field of critical literacy. Teaching Writers Speak is a podcast produced by members of the Toronto Writing Project (www.torontowritingproject.com).
