I’m Joy E. Young, an educator and author of Back in the Student Seat: The Courage to Rethink Teaching Through the Eyes of a Student.

​

After years of teaching English learners, I became a student again—this time learning Spanish in a classroom in Spain. Experiencing learning from the other side changed how I understood my students and my teaching.

​

Here, you’ll find reflections from my ongoing learning journey and practical classroom ideas to help you see teaching through your students’ eyes.
