Coaching ELA with "The Pope"

Coaches draw up plays to play to the strengths of the team. So why not draw up courses that play to the passions of your students? Blake Pope shares how he does just that in his Sport Literature class. This year Blake noticed that his students engaged with sports literature in his classroom and has taken that engagement and parlayed it into a full course on sports literature. Join us as we discuss the difficulties of being a new teacher, acclimating to standardized testing, and how to find creative ways to engage with students. As always:
