Listen "The Secret to Teaching"
Episode Synopsis
Immigrant educators bring a unique perspective to public education and often make a powerful impact on their students and school communities. Alhassan Susso, a native of the Gambia and the 2019 New York Teacher of the Year educator, has done just that in his Bronx, NY high school. He and Sara discuss his incredible journey from Africa to the United States and what inspired him to give back to the next generation. They dissect how Susso uses relationships-building to lead his students down the path to graduation and how other educators can learn from his success.
