It’s not just reaching Black students, it’s reaching all students, and breaking down some stereotypes, some of the false narratives of Black males in the United States of America.”
As the 2022 National Teacher of the Year, Russell will spend the next year serving as an ambassador for education and an advocate for all teachers and students.
