Thank you, ⁦⁦@arthurjonesii⁩, for elevating teachers’ voices.

Take a read—many of my #NTOY23 teammates and I speak honestly and openly about issues facing the profession we each hold dear.

Teachers have champions in this White House.

Jill is the first to teach full time as First Lady, grading papers here at the White House.

Like she reminds me: teaching is not just what you do – it’s who you are.

[Jill Biden Archived @FLOTUS46Archive]

As I’ve traveled the country, I’ve visited some pretty amazing programs where parents and teachers are working together hand in hand.

There is no divide between those who love our students and those who teach them — because we all do both.

[Michael Ida, ObJN, PhD, NBCT @drmikeida]

So honored and proud to bring the voices of #AAPI educators to the table as part of the @CCSSO #NTOY23 cohort. We are an incredibly diverse community with so many amazing and inspiring stories to tell, and so much to share with the rest of the nation.

Congratulations to all NTOY finalists & #2023NTOY, @RebeckaMozdeh! 🎉 I am so honored to have met her and get to know all that she does to advance mathematics learning and teaching. She is a selfless, loving, and caring person who inspires me to teach with grace each day! @CCSSO

Sharing your story is a powerful way to show one’s true vulnerability. I am thankful for people like @LanguagePerez who inspires educators like myself to share my story to others. Thank for your being such an inspiration to all!

[Lee Perez @LanguagePerez]

Honored to be your keynote speaker. Excited to share my story which is full of trauma, challenges, and failure. My past helped shaped who I am today. My story is who I am and I can't wait to inspire everyone with my story of struggle and redemption.

[Donovan Tudela, M.S.Ed @sshstudela]

I wouldn’t have it any other way! #ILoveTeaching #NTOY2023 @CCSSO

[Donovan Tudela, M.S.Ed @sshstudela]

I dedicate this honor to my students- both past and present. I wouldn’t be the educator I am today if it weren’t for y’all 🙏🏽💚 #mantas #sshs
