T.S. Eliot wrote that “Genuine poetry can communicate before it’s understood.” I’m not sure that I can yet fully comprehend the long lasting impacts of tonight’s CCSSO #teachertalks showcase, but I do know that tonight was poetry. Thank you, #NTOY23 #INTOY24 #livetolearn

Such a great day with Smithsonian Education ! Thank you for the wealth of knowledge and resources you provided the #NTOY24 cohort. I can’t wait to bring them back to my students and colleagues. #livetolearn #INTOY24 CCSSO IN Dept of Education

Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art taught our #ntoy24 small-group the art of “slow observation.” Gaining appreciation and new perspective takes time. Thank you for allowing our group to experience that. #NTOY24 #INTOY24 @ccsso

Thank you, Jahana Hayes for your words of wisdom today. Your story touched all of us #ntoy24 . In particular, you said that educators need to define this profession, and we shouldn’t let others define it for us. I carried that with me today. CCSSO #INTOY24 #livetolearn

.CCSSO is honored to host the 2024 National Teacher of the Year Program Washington Week!

#NTOY24 will engage in professional learning & conversations with policymakers, external partners & media to foster relationships that will create opportunities for ongoing leadership.

Intentionality. From being given a map of my school’s community when discussing the power of place, to sitting at a teacher’s desk in an exhibit, the Smithsonian is celebrating the education profession. Teachers, you are artists of the highest calling. CCSSO #NTOY24

Thank you Jim Risch and staff for meeting with me today to talk about education and rural Idaho. #CCSSO #NTOY24 #Education #WashingtonWeek

Whew. A big day today. Lots of excitement and emotion to kick off Washington Week! Huge thanks to CCSSO for all of these opportunities
