Connecting with the 2023 Arizona Teacher of the Year Ty White, S12 Episode 12
Just three days after being named the 2023 Arizona Teacher of the Year, chemistry teacher Ty White joined us for a conversation about what brought him into teaching, how he approaches his practice, and about receiving this exciting honor.
3Ps in a Pod host Josh Meibos welcomes Ty White to the podcast, who talks through the evening he was named the Arizona Educational Foundation’s 2023 Arizona Teacher of the Year and shares about the significance of having two of his elementary school teachers join him at the Teacher of the Year celebration.
White also shares about some of the larger projects he has coordinated with students, including a partnership with SARSEF, an electric go-cart project, and an aerospace project with Biosphere 2. He also shares about what he is thinking about focusing on in his next year as Arizona Teacher of the Year, including STEM literacy and accessibility for all.
Here are links to some of the STEM organizations White mentioned:
