Chicago Public Schools Teaching Residency and Internship Program invited Young Chicago Authors for an afternoon of performance and dialogue at Little Village High School. These pre-service teachers became the students while YCA poets taught them what students look for in a teacher. Poets included: Nathaniel Marshall, Sharrieff Muhammad, Matthew Ewing, Jeffrey Riley, Shawn Duncan, and LeBrandon Hickey, with teachers Steven Evans, Krista Franklin and YCA Performance Manager Mike Haeflinger.

Recorded Tuesday, June 20, 2006 at Little Village Lawndale High School.
