Book Summary

What Teachers Make: In Praise of the Greatest Job in the World (2012) builds on Mali’s viral spoken‑word poem of the same title. The book is a heartfelt, sometimes humorous, and deeply passionate ode to the teaching profession. Split between stirring essays, personal anecdotes, and some of his poetry, Mali recounts classroom stories—demanding silence during study hall, defying mediocrity, making parents sit up and listen, and witnessing students have that light‑bulb moment—that illustrate the profound difference educators make . It’s less a how‑to teaching manual and more a celebration of why teaching matters—calling educators “an army of educated and grateful citizens who have their backs” —and urging society to recognize their hard work, creative sacrifice, and impact that goes far beyond standardized test scores .

 

About the Author

Taylor McDowell Mali (b. March 28, 1965) is a New York City–born slam poet, former teacher, humorist, and voice actor. With a BA from Bowdoin and an MA in English/Creative Writing from Kansas State, Mali spent around nine years teaching English, history, and math in schools across New York, Kansas, Massachusetts, and London . He first captivated audiences with his poem “What Teachers Make,” inspired by a lawyer’s dismissal of teaching as a profession. The poem went viral—the YouTube performance garnered millions of views, sparked his broader mission to create 1,000 new teachers through poetry and advocacy, and became the foundation for this book . Mali has authored multiple poetry collections, won slam‑poetry championships, and continues to tour as a performer, teacher‑advocate, and voiceover artist
