"What Teachers Make" by Taylor Mali at NCTE 2015 in Minneapolis - Entrepreneur Generations

So far on Thursday here at NCTE, I attended a session on "Climate Change in English Language Arts," which was presented by Allan Webb of Western Michigan University, David Kangas of Wayne Memorial High School, and Lisa Eddy of Adrian High School in Michigan. The session was pretty interesting, particularly the discussion from Mr. Kangas about linking the study of books like Frankenstein and Lord of the Flies with bees' colony collapse disorder and study of how systems work.

Later, we attended the Secondary Section Get-Together, with keynote speaker Taylor Mali, who is famous for his spoken word poem "What Teacher Makes"; he's written several books of poetry and appeared on such programs as Def Poetry Jam.

Here's the video I took of Mali performing at NCTE 2015:
