Teacher Evan Marquez tries to answer the question: can you really be your full self at your job?

“English Teacher” centers on Evan Marquez, a teacher in Austin, Texas who often finds himself at the intersection of the personal, professional and political aspects of working at a high school. Evan wants to be a principled person but often runs into trouble because of it. By Evan’s side is his friend group of other teachers, including his best friend Gwen Sanders, the eager and optimistic history teacher who tends to see the best in people. When the principal informs Evan about being placed under investigation for a long-dormant incident where he and his boyfriend kissed in front of students, Evan suddenly feels that he’s under a microscope and is being targeted for his sexuality. He’s left with one rule to abide by: no relationships with faculty… only to meet a charming new teacher who seems to be interested in him. This forces Evan to navigate his relationships, his students and his fellow faculty while trying to answer the question: can you really be your full self at your job?
