This is for real one of the most annoying things about teenagers doing silly stupid stuff in class. It’s not that they DO it… it’s that there’s a certain percentage of them who will NEVER admit to doing anything.

Teacher Awards for Literacy – I won one!
Posted in 2015-2016 school year with tags comics, education, national council of teachers of english, penguin, random house, teacher awards for literacy on October 26, 2015 by Christopher PearceI received some genuinely cool news a few weeks ago that I wanted to share with y’all – I recently found out I am one of three winners of Penguin/Random House’s Teacher Awards for Literacy! I’m going to get to build a program to teach using graphic novels in my classroom with some of the monies from the award and I get to go to the National Council of Teachers of English convention this November in Minneapolis!
So, I nominated myself for this award and I drew a comic to go along with my application. I thought I’d put it up for y’all to check out.
I’m sure I’ll talk more about the award and what it means to me in upcoming weeks but for now… Woohoo!
Teacher Comics: Work hard and get ’em next time.

Teacher Comics: I’m a failure and that’s OK.

Teacher Comics: Here’s what went wrong…

The annoying this is we DID plan for all of the inevitable non-educational disruptions that come with the beginning of any new school year… but we never planned for so many that would go on for SO long.

My comic’s in NCTE’s Council Chronicle this month!

Here’s something cool- The National Council of Teachers of English hired me to do a comic for their bi-annual magazine The Council Chronicle. I wrote about empowering students through personal choice in their reading.
Besides being excited to do something like this for a great organization like NCTE, I was happy to focus it on some of the asinine reasons great graphic novels get banned in some libraries – like how apparently Bone promotes an unhealthy agenda for children because Smiley Bone smokes a pipe.
I’ll post a higher resolution version of the comic later this week.
