“You have to practice what you teach,” says Teresa Collins, a teacher at Boston College High School. At the poetry retreat and professional development training program held at the Boston Athenaeum, she had a chance to meet with others who share her belief. Collins was one of twenty teachers who signed up immediately for the August 12th and 13th program, which filled up less than 24 hours after it was announced.
