Reading and writing poetry grows more than verbal literacy. It lays down roots for social emotional learning in the classroom, providing a contact point for connecting with self, peers, and the humanity we each possess. A panel of poet-educators will offer insights into how poetry serves as a vessel, unlocking emotions through the books we share with students and in their own creative writing.
