The Poetry in America program aims to provide online graduate-level professional development courses for middle and high school teachers who have never had the opportunity to advance their careers online. These courses will be designed to strengthen classroom practice while accumulating credits toward advanced degrees in education. The initiative will also produce classroom-ready video content that enables teachers to engage and educate students, meeting English Language Arts standards and providing professional development opportunities. The program is a collaboration between Elisa New and Programs in Professional Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, with courses such as Poetry of the City already in active development.
