Somebody, Help Me Find My Chalk
Lessons in Letters to and from My Students
Somebody, Help Me Find My Chalk: Lessons in Letters to and from My Students is a collection of introductory letters written at the start of every semester from Nicole Bailey-Williams, a beloved, high school English teacher, to her dear students. Beginning with a letter written in January of 2006 and ending with a letter written to her students trying to stay afloat in 2021 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the collection features response letters from Bailey-Williams' students and her reflections of teaching in both amazing and abysmal circumstances. A fourth-generation educator, Bailey-Williams shares her own experiences as a public and private school student, a student teacher, a cooperating teacher for student teachers, a private school parent, and an instructor whose career has spanned 28 years. In addition, the award-winning educator reminds us that the education system is not a discrete institution, but that it is a space with society's issues spilling over into it, leaving our kids to grapple with circumstances that they didn't invent, but if encouraged and guided they can transform. While the primary readers are educators, the implications are quite relevant for business leaders, as Bailey-Williams peppers her reflections with methods of building bridges with those around us for not only inspiring maximum productivity but more importantly making the human connection.
