S9 Episode 15: Teacher Leadership with National Teacher of the Year Tabatha Rosproy
Join 3Ps hosts Kathleen and Donnie for a conversation with the 2020 National Teacher of the Year, Tabatha Rosproy.
Rosproy is a preschool teacher in Kansas and the first early childhood teacher to be named National Teacher of the Year. She shares with Kathleen and Donnie the experience of earning that title and about what first brought her into teaching.
She also reflects on teacher leadership and shares the philosophy she learned with the Kansas Leadership Center that “leadership is an activity, not a position.” Rosproy also talks about the power of the ‘family model’ in the classroom and what she is looking forward to in the coming year.

Being an educator in the 21st century is indescribably complex. There’s a constant pressure to meet standards and help students achieve, but there’s also a need to allow learners to color outside the lines in an effort to prompt creativity. To support educators along the continuum, the Center developed “3Ps in a Pod” to further dissect practice, policy, and passion in the field of education.
