This month, the ISTE + ASCD team had the honor of stepping into classrooms across the country, witnessing firsthand the creativity, resilience, and passion educators bring to their work.  From guiding students in persuasive AI essays in South Carolina to supporting young learners at a New York book fair, every moment was inspiring. Through it all, these teachers’ passion for learning and student success shines bright. To the teachers who welcomed us into their classrooms: Thank you. Your hard work and commitment to your students inspire us every day. 🍎 #ThankATeacher #EducationMatters #ASCD #ISTE #shadowateacher
