Eric F. Goldstein and Clare Berke: TAUGHT

The Ivy Bookshop

Celebrating a debut novel featuring a DC public schools teacher and his student as they reckon with race, education, and redemption.

Ivy Bookshop

From the streets of Southeast DC to the civil rights landmarks of Harpers Ferry and the forests of the Appalachian Trail, teacher and student take an unexpected, and uneasy journey-- which becomes a reckoning, each mile revealing new fault lines between past and present, teacher and student, guilt and grace. In this conversation at The Ivy Bookshop, author Eric Goldstein speaks alongside Dr. Clare Berke. Both are Washington, DC-based public educators themselves. We hope you'll join us as we bring this novel to life.<a href="https://www.theivybookshop.com/book/?ean=9798218813017" title="https://www.theivybookshop.com/book/?ean=9798218813017" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click here to order TAUGHT!</a>As a middle and high school teacher, Eric Goldstein founded the Washington, DC-based nonprofit organization, One World Education. Through programs that teach writing skills through social justice, the organization has transformed more than 65,000 students into writers with voice, knowledge, and purpose. Inspired by two decades of listening to students tell their stories, Eric's debut novel, TAUGHT, was released in January 2026.&nbsp;Dr. Clare Berke teaches English and Journalism in the Washington, D.C., Public Schools, and is an adjunct faculty member in American University’s School of Education. She lives with her three children in Upper Fells Point and visits her family in rural Nebraska every summer.
