This report explores parents', students' and educators' relationships to, and reliance on, paper, in both their lives and the classroom. Survey data and research compiled by the Paper and Packaging Board confirms just how important paper is to learning. In fact, the survey revealed that 91% of us carry paper in some form or another every single day. Though ubiquitous -- and perhaps because of its ubiquity -- paper, and our relationship to it, often goes unnoticed. This report sheds light on the specific ways paper reinforces the learning process.

The author tells of the experience of cofounding a group of male teachers of color within the Boston Teacher Residency program. The group's theory of action was that professional development focused on addressing the unique challenges of male teachers of color would help these teachers develop tools and strategies to navigate their school environment. More importantly, these male teachers of color would be better able to focus on creating conditions that facilitated learning for students -- the majority of whom were of color and from working class families.
