I Wish My Teacher Knew: How One Question Can Change Everything for Our Kids | Kyle Schwartz
4 posts | 6 read | 6 to read
Based on the simple yet powerful effective classroom exercise that went viral, a KÐ12 guide to better understanding children and building stronger classroom communities Ê One day, third-grade teacher Kyle Schwartz asked her students to fill in the blank in this sentence: ÒI wish my teacher knew _____.Ó The results astounded her. Some answers were humorous, others were heartbreakingÑall were profoundly moving and enlightening. The results opened her eyes to the need for educators to understand the realities which their students face in order to create an open, safe and supportive place in the classroom. When Schwartz shared her experience online, #IWishMyTeacherKnew became an immediate worldwide viral phenomenon. SchwartzÕs book tells the story of #IWishMyTeacherKnew, including many studentsÕ emotional and insightful responses, and ultimately provides an invaluable guide for teachers, parents, and communities.

I Wish My Teacher Knew: How One Question Can Change Everything for Our Kids | Kyle Schwartz

I had parent/teacher conferences tonight and another session tomorrow. I‘ve taught 3rd grade for 14 years now. A lot has changed in that time, but the importance of reading has not. Unfortunately, getting the parents to understand said importance also hasn‘t changed much. 😢

Purrfectpages @GatheringBooks sorry I couldn‘t get back to you earlier! It looks like Nagy and Herman, 1987. 7y

Schwartz‘ poignant book is a testimony to the impact and power a teacher has. Rather than going through the mere drudgery of teaching, day in, day out, Schwartz went out of her way to really get to know her students. Teachers really play the role of psychologist and sociologist, in addition to their 'job‘ of passing along information.
