A 25-year veteran of the classroom, Kurt Russell was first inspired to become a teacher in middle school, when he encountered his first Black male teacher. Now as 2022 National Teacher of the Year, he plans to advocate for classrooms to better reflect the students within them — from a curriculum that reflects their backgrounds and identities to a more diverse teaching profession. Kurt teaches history at Oberlin High School in Oberlin, Ohio, where he was born and raised; his classes include African American history, which he has taught since the late 1990s, and Race, Gender and Oppression, a class he developed. He also serves as faculty advisor for the student-led Black Student Union, whose work has led to positive impacts for students across racial groups.In addition to his classroom and extracurricular duties, Kurt is the head coach for the school's varsity basketball team. He sees basketball as an extension of the classroom, and a place where young people can learn about working together and how to handle both adversity and success.  Kurt shares what led him to become an educator and why he has stayed in the classroom for so long. He discuss the importance of diverse curriculum and class offerings and how African-American history and culture is under attack. Finally, host Shayna Terrell and Mr. Russell discuss how teaching is a political act and the importance of recruiting and retaining Black educators.

Shanna Peeples, the 2015 National Teacher of the Year, took the road less travelled on the way to her classroom.She worked as a disc jockey, medical assistant, and journalist before teaching, as she says, chose her.Shanna taught middle and high school English in low-income schools in Amarillo, Texas for 14 years.

SHOW NOTES: I’ll share a short story about why this week’s guest on the podcast is significant. On April 24, 2019, at least three of my MinneSNOWtan friends sent text messages and emails to me about a recently released video from PBS News Hour. The title was about teachers on the brink. Now, what’s interesting is that my dissertation research focuses on AA teachers who left the US K-12 schools for educational opportunities in K-12 schools in the UAE so when my friends heard Nathan’s discussion during this interview, they instantly reached out to me with an urgency to listen. When I listened to this interview, the part that struck me most is basically what you’ll hear me discuss with Nathan Gibbs-Bowling, the guest on this week’s episode. My personal reasons for wanting to connect with Nathan do not come close to describing the complexity of his career as an educator and educator advocate. Not only is Nathan the 2016 Washington State Teacher of the Year Recipient, one of four finalists for the 2016 National Teacher of the Year competition and co-founder of Teachers United, he has also been published in the Washington Post, Seattle Times, Huffington Post, and US Department of Ed Website.Although the basis of the PBS News hour interview was about teacher attrition and factors that negatively impact teachers to leave US K-12 schools, Nathan announced his decision to leave the school he had been in for over a decade for a school in the UAE. After I listened to the interview, I reached out to Nathan on FB and informed him that I would be in the UAE and would love to connect with him once there. It was that connection that led to this amazing interview. Without further delay, here is my conversation with Nathan Gibbs Bowling.
