Teachers as Writers, 2023
With research showing that the best writing teachers are writers themselves, the students of the teachers who submitted entries in this year’s ‘Teachers as Writers’ section are truly advantaged.
In partnership with ACT Writers, ACTATE launched this section in 2021 to build on ACTATE’s ‘Teachers as Writers’ events that are held throughout the year.
