Celebrating the 2020 and 2021 National Teachers of the Year in the Nation’s Capital
More than four years ago
MSEA President Cheryl Bost joined NEA President Becky Pringle and NEA Secretary/Treasurer Noel Candelaria at the White House recently to celebrate the 2020 and 2021 National Teachers of the Year.
The 2020 award winner, Kansas pre-school educator Tabatha Rosproy, teaches in an intergenerational program based in a retirement community. She is the first pre-school teacher to be honored as National Teacher of the Year. The 2021 awardee, Juliana Urtubey, is an instructional strategist and co-teacher in pre-k through 5th grade in Las Vegas.
“The past year and a half has been a unique and challenging learning experience for those of us in public education. It was wonderful to be among so many positive, forward-looking people, including President and Mrs. Biden who honor and respect our profession,” Bost said.
