@OdegardTim I thought I was listening to this podcast to brush up on my instruction and it ended up being the best therapy session! As a first grade teacher with Dyslexia, this interview really made me reflect on how my own experience impacts who I am as an educator.
Yesterday, I had an inspiring visit with Louisiana’s newest Teacher of the Year, Kylie Altier. ⭐️
Her platform will highlight our statewide focus on literacy. As an ambassador for Louisiana, she is committed to a Reading Revival. 📚

Among the special recognitions at this week's BESE meeting were the honorees and finalists for LA State Teachers and Principal of the Year. Congrats to these outstanding educators and school leaders - many thanks for your commitment and service to our students and families! #laed
Altier's story is an interesting contrast to the gloom-and-doom stories dominating the world of teaching. She really feels blessed to be teaching in Baton Rouge, in Louisiana, at this moment in time, what folks at the state level have dubbed the "Louisiana Reading Revolution."
"There is something really magical happening in Louisiana."
Kylie Altier said serving as an educator in Louisiana has been a gift. Watch the moment we named the newest Louisiana Teacher of the Year. #LAExcellentEducators#DreamTeachersLA@ebrpschools@DreamTeachersLA
