5/23 Update: Our series has begun. But please continue to add your stories via Intersect.

____

Ahead of our upcoming series, “What Makes An A+ Teacher?”, we’ve asked you some specific questions, about rewarding teachers and improving teaching, to guide our reporting.

But we also want to provide a place for you to share memories and anecdotes of teachers who played a role in your life. We’re using the website Intersect.com (that’s the map above), to allow you to share your personal stories with others. Intersect will post your story and map it with the year and place where you came into contact with your special teacher.

We’re hoping you’ll share a name, year and location of a teacher who had an impact on your life. There’s space on Intersect for you to tell us how this teacher impacted your life, too. Who knows, maybe even your teacher will see it and respond to your post?

Here’s how to add your story to our map:

  1. Go to Intersect.com;
  2. Either create an Intersect account, or sign in with Facebook or Twitter;
  3. Once you’re logged in, “share a story,” at the top right of the page;
  4. In the available fields, title your entry, compose your entry, enter a “time” for your entry and enter a “place” for your entry;
  5. Important: “Tag” your story with the following tag: WBURteachers (that’s how these responses are collected on the map);
  6. Save and preview, then publish your story.

Thanks in advance for sharing!
