"I think I was put on the planet to be a fighter for kids, and for what kids need in classrooms. And to be in a position where I have the opportunity to say what's important for kids and why, that's really an honor." —Maureen Stover, "Science Mom," Cumberland International Early College High School in Cumberland County Schools, NC. Welcome to another episode of School PR Drive Time from NCSPRA, driving the narrative forward for public education in North Carolina Public Schools through the work of #SchoolPR professionals! In this program, we chat with Maureen Stover is the 2020 Burroughs Wellcome Fund North Carolina Teacher of the Year, recently named one of four finalists to become the 2021 National Teacher of the Year by the Council of Chief State School Officers. See Stover's application and meet the cohort: https://ntoy.ccsso.org/meet-the-2021-finalists-2/ We are grateful to have Maureen Stover join #SchoolPR Drive Time with Lindsay Whitley, Associate Superintendent of Communications and Community Engagement, who is a former NCSPRA board member. Stover spoke with us about using teacher voice to shift conversations and policy to make equitable education a reality for every child regardless of their zip code, and to meet the increased need for social-emotional learning supports for every student. We discussed how time teaching in Cumberland County Schools and previously in military service confirmed Stover's passion for education — her "ikigai" — and prepared her for a systematic and team-oriented approach to being NC's Teacher of the Year and a finalist for the National Teacher of the Year. "It's important to recognize that we may specialize in content areas, but we are much more to our students than imparters of knowledge. Sometimes I'm a nurse, sometimes I'm a cheerleader, and the 'science mom.' I am whatever my kids need me to be that day, and that's a big part of their social-emotional learning." Stover's application for National Teacher of the Year is available online "Faces and Voices of Equity" is a project of the 2020 cohort of North Carolina's regional Teachers of the Year to amplify teacher voice and raise awareness of a different equity issue each month. Their online home is the Twitter feed "Educators for Equity" (www.twitter.com/Ed_For_Equity). Maureen Stover is online at www.twitter.com/StoverScience. Lindsay Whitley is online at www.twitter.com/lindsaywhitley. They have worked together at Cumberland County Schools, the 5th largest district in North Carolina, serving over 50,000 students.
