I teach in one of the schools on "the list." My school, in rural Northeastern NC, is in a high-need, low-wealth area, and is working really hard to overcome the stigma and low expectations that come with being named by a state Supreme Court judge as a target for possible closure because of low performance. We're starting to turn around the test scores, but I want to do more. I teach ninth and tenth-grade English, but this project will serve the needs of the entire school, and, with luck, will establish writing as a central component of our identity as a school.
