I'M SPEAKING
Abbott Elementary is an American mockumentary sitcom television series created by Quinta Brunson. Willard R. Abbott Elementary School is a predominantly Black school in Philadelphia where a documentary crew is recording the lives of teachers working in underfunded, mismanaged schools. Conditions at the school are harsh and most teachers do not last more than two years. Optimistic second-grade teacher Janine Teagues is determined to help her students despite the circumstances. She works with awkward, good-intentioned history teacher Jacob Hill; experienced, no-nonsense kindergarten teacher Barbara Howard; and experienced second-grade teacher Melissa Schemmenti, Barbara's close friend, who has questionable connections. They are joined by new school principal Ava Coleman, who is tone-deaf, unqualified, and uninvested, and recent substitute hire Gregory Eddie, who was rejected after applying for the position of principal. During this interactive session, teachers will watch clips from the show and share their thoughts to questions on how each scenario should be handled in their own school setting.
