Last week we hosted the CCSSO 2023 National Teachers of the Year for a day of celebration & professional development. We discussed passions, #EdTech trends, and even hosted a Google Doodles drawing workshop 🎨#NTOY23

Teachers advocating for the needs of our students is an important job - thanks to Page Williams for making this day happen! Everyday, we make decisions that impact the future and this is so true in education! #education #policy #GeorgiaED

I taught at @NewnanHigh my first year teaching and was lucky enough to witness the brilliance of Ms. Landreth. So glad I got to see her yesterday as she was recognized at the Capitol! 59 years in the classroom - an accomplishment worthy of praise! #legacy #legend #education

March is Music in our Schools Month! To celebrate, I was part of a great podcast session with elementary music teacher @MusicLFES and Classroom Conversations host Ashley Mengwasser discussing how to create a community through music! Take a listen! #miosm #musicinourschools

Congratulations to all of these amazing finalists! I’m excited to meet you all and hear your stories. I know you will lead Georgia Education well! #GeorgiaEducation #toty

Looking forward to a magical week in DC representing Georgia educators! #ntoy23 #gaTOTY #education

Awe-inspired by the day at the White House. Town hall with the First Lady Melania Trump, Secretary Miguel Cardona and the #ntoy23 cohort. Then a beautiful ceremony in the Rose Garden, with messages from the President Donald J. Trump and NTOY Rebecka Peterson. Truly an honor of a lifetime!

Thanks to Smithsonian Education for a great opportunity to see their museums, learn from their curators, and collaborate on how to help music teachers utilize their archives and resources to enhance education in the classroom! Also thankful for this generous gift!

What an incredible week! The CCSSO did a fantastic job recognizing the educators in #ntoy23 cohort - I couldn’t help but beam with pride. Every educator deserves to feel supported and celebrated! Thankful for an amazing week of opportunities! #washingtonweek

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all the educators making a difference for students every where! You change the world, one student at a time, and you deserve the world in return! Thank you!

It’s #TeacherAppreciationWeek and the 2023 State Teachers of the Year are sharing what brings them joy in the classroom. More in this video youtu.be/tzm6rxbmhFw. #NTOY23

It’s time we focus on a comprehensive education, one that not only includes STEM but also music and the arts.
