In this episode of The Wired Educator Podcast Episode, I interview Mike Johnston, educator, author, and poet. Mike is the author of You Are Poetry: How to See and Grow the Poet in Your Students and Yourself.

This is an enchanting, beautiful and helpful conversation for all educators in any grade and in any content area to take students learning and work to the highest level of understanding and expression possible. This interview is awesome and it’s just what you need.

Click here to listen to my interview with Mike.

Mike and I talk about:

  • What He believes poetry is and why he believes everyone is a poet.
  • The value of poetry as emotional literacy.
  • His book and how  it can be used.
  • Poetry in all content and grades.
  • And more!

Mike Johnston is a Metis middle school educator, champion slam poet, spoken word artist, poetry educator and and land-based learning specialist. He was named a National Geographic Grosvenor Teacher Fellow and is the author of You Are Poetry; an educational resource book that guides educators and students alike through activities and insights to help them see and grow the poet in themselves. This past year the book evolved into the first International #YouArePoetry Movement during poetry month, in which students and teachers from around the world connected through the poetry possibilities shared in its pages.
