Several of our incredible SEED teachers enjoyed their very first day in the classroom at George Washington Carver Elementary School!
The excitement was contagious as they officially began their new careers as educators with Richmond Public Schools.

VA Teachers of the Year have a binder that is passed from the current TOY to the next TOY. It’s full of advice and speeches. You add to it before you pass it on. I met the creator today, 2004 VA TOY Laurie Sullivan. We had a moment along with 2025 VA TOY Avanti Yamamoto

Last night I found my T-shirt that said James (‘72), Thomas (‘96) Rodney (2019), and Kurt (2022). I have to add another name to that shirt. Congratulations Leon Smith, 2026 National Teacher of the Year.

Since RPS rebooted the Teacher and Leader Pathways Dept 2 years ago, we’ve created 140 new teachers through the SEED program, 95% 1st year retention rate, & 75% of provisional teachers have received support in getting their full license. We make a difference and have receipts.

Proud of Chanae and the 20 other Associate Teachers earning their bachelor’s degrees and teaching licenses—tuition-free—through our SEED program. She’s also a former student. This is what growing our own looks like. wtvr.com/news/local-news/ric…

Not shocked by this at all. I remember in college when they offered all the history majors at my HBCU an internship to be a historical actor for the summer. It was a surreal moment. That dude almost got jumped that day.
This shit is beyond. Obeying in advance, first the National Archives and now Colonial Williamsburg.
Fucked.
