"There is always more to learn as a teacher. Best practices are evolving and sometimes our teaching does not, as quickly. To have someone come in and give a different perspective, new thoughts and ideas: this is what WriteBoston has done for me."
- Veteran science educator
"What I get from my WriteBoston coach is everything I want to give to my students: respect, high expectations, great content, and an emphasis on the ‘why.’ I can't say enough about my WriteBoston mentor."
- Early career vocational teacher
"WriteBoston [professional development] is the true definition of a partnership. My coach genuinely cares about helping me succeed—not in a ‘let me tell you what to do’ way, but ‘let's work to get there together’ way."
- Early career English teacher
"Teens in Print is accepting of different ways of thinking. I feel like I can write an article that challenges most people’s views and everyone would be respectful of my opinions, which is so rad."
- Teens in Print alum, class of 2020
"I feel like family with the TiP team (peers and instructors included)! I tried so many new forms of writing this year and couldn't be happier with what I've learned in the process."
- Teens in Print reporter, 12th grade
"I never wrote this much before and I've never had this much freedom when it came to writing, so [the Summer Journalism Institute] really made me realize that it's fun to tell your own stories/opinions."
