poetry in the classroom: some kids i taught and what they taught me

An extraordinary book on the effect of writing poetry in the classroom - an effect on both teacher and students:

Kate Clanchy is a poet and currently Writer in Residence at the comprehensive school Oxford Spires Academy, where she has nurtured creative talent among the pupils, many of whom have come to the UK as refugees. 
An anthology of the pupils’ poetry, England: Poems from a School was published by Macmillan in 2018. Her book Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me was published earlier this year.
