Abstract: Teacher civic participation is political, educative, and necessary. Using autoethnographic methods, we find teacher civic becomings occur through social media, reflecting connections to place, time, and community. The practices of teacher civic engagement are enacted from screens, to our bodies marching in the streets, and reflected back again to screens.
