Memorable Teachers

 

Whether you are 9 or 90, there's a good chance there has been an unforgettable teacher in your life. Maybe it was the third-grade teacher who demystified the multiplication tables, or the professor who taught you comparative literature. Maybe it was your dad, who made sure you knew how to drive a stick shift. Maybe it was the physical therapist who literally helped you get back on your feet.

 

In "New Jersey at Is Best," a special issue on Nov. 18, we will publish a collection of short essays about unforgettable teachers. Contributions, 300 words or less, can be sent by email to teach@nytimes.com or by mail to

TEACH c/o New Jersey Weekly, The New York Times, 229 West 43rd Street, New York, NY 10036.

 

Please include a daytime phone number. Also, please indicate if you and your teacher are available to be photographed, or if you have a photograph you can lend for publication. The deadline is Oct. 28.
