The Full-Time Dream of Nancy Poydar
Romano, Katherine
Teaching Pre K-8, v34 n4 p47-48 Jan 2004
In this article, the author profiles Nancy Poydar, a former sixth-grade teacher who, during her 14 years of teaching, found herself fascinated by the daily mini-dramas that often play out in classrooms. Drawing on this experience, Poydar made a career change, first as an illustrator of children's books, and now as author of almost 30 children's books whose stories are set within the classroom.
