About this book

Kyle Schwartz, a third-grade teacher, asked her students to complete the sentence: "I wish my teacher knew _____." The responses ranged from humorous to heartbreaking, all deeply moving and revealing. The exercise showed Schwartz the importance of educators understanding the unique circumstances their students experience outside the classroom, so they can build an open, safe, and supportive learning environment. When Schwartz shared her experience online, #IWishMyTeacherKnew became a worldwide viral phenomenon. This book documents the #IWishMyTeacherKnew movement, shares many of the students' emotional and insightful responses, and offers guidance for teachers, parents, and communities.
