Ep.90- National Teacher of the Year Juliana Urtubey!

A Joyous and Just Education for All w/ NTOY Juliana Urtubey! - AOTA Episode 90

The double-whammy of teaching amid a pandemic and being publicly slandered for alleged “indoctrination” and “grooming” has made this an especially tough school year for educators across the country. We could all use a reminder of the importance and promise of education, and who better to ground us than the phenomenally dope 2021 National Teacher of the Year, Juliana Urtubey!! Juliana is just the third special education teacher, the only bilingual special education teacher, and the first Latina since at least 2005 to be named National Teacher of the Year. Since being announced as NTOY, Juliana has shared her “joyous and just” message with pre-service teachers, educators and policymakers across the country – including at the White House. Now she joins us here at AOTA to share her experience as NTOY as well as her thoughts about the ongoing challenges facing the profession. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including a rise in teens using artificial intelligence bots to get mental health help and an uptick in threats targeting so-called “woke” teachers.
