Education History Project

The Faculty of Education and the Education Alumni Association invite you to share your humorous and inspiring experiences from the classroom. Story submissions may be posted on the NEW Education news blog.

We hope that your stories will inspire, empower, or provide new teachers with a smile to carry with them as they begin their careers. Therefore, we are interested in helping you share the stories that make you laugh, however, we are also interested in the stories that inspired you, or perhaps still remain meaningful to you as a teacher.

Review the guidelines for story submission.  All submissions will be reviewed.
