Darius B. Wimby

"The Pop Culture Educator" has gone above and beyond to create culturally engaging curriculum for his students by tying the music of Atlanta to the thematic units of study for his freshman English courses.

He's the English teacher I wish I had.

Kristi Moore

In her own words, "Reading is a conversation" and "writing is a social process," and her pedagogy shows through the incredible resources she catalogs on her website. During the Spring 2020 semester, Kristi's whole-teacher approach to coaching not only kept me sane, but introduced me to the magic of Loom!

Tanesha B. Forman

Tanesha is not an educator, but a force of nature. Her unapologetic stance on "Anti-Racism" and its necessity in k-12 is both inspiring and beautifully centered through her engagement and instructional strategies. Although she is now serving as a dean, I look forward to seeing her voice amplified and her influence spread over the year.
