"Educating Esme," the
uncensored diary of a woman's first year teaching in a
public elementary school in Chicago. Some of the things she
encounters on a day-to-day basis? "Incompetent
administrators, abusive parents, gang members, weary
teachers, angry children, [and] dim-witted principals." Esme
Raji Codell's public radio feature based on this diary won
first prize in the 1997 National Education Reporting in
Radio competition sponsored by the Education Writers
Association. An award-winning fifth-grade teacher and
children's literature specialist, Codell writes here about
how she gets kids interested in reading, and she lists her
favorite books to keep kids excited about reading.
