It hardly seems a stretch to say that Kurt Russell was born to be a history teacher.
Oberlin High School history teacher Kurt Russell, teaches an African-American history class, Thursday, April 14, 2022, in Oberlin, Ohio. The Council of Chief State School Officers on Tuesday, April 19, 2022, publicly announced that Russell is the organization's National Teacher of the Year for 2022.
Russell will spend the next year representing educators and serving as an ambassador for students and teachers across the country, the organization said.His classroom journey to teaching began with his white kindergarten teacher, Francine Toss, who read a picture book about the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as he and other students sat in a circle in her classroom.
“He was someone who looked like me in front of the classroom who all the kids enjoyed,” Russell said. “This seemed like a profession that I could enjoy. It just changed my life.” He credited the school administration for supporting the creation of the class. “They could have said, ‘No. We don’t need that right now,'" Russell said.Russell also is the boys basketball coach at Oberlin. His team finished the season with a 16-6 record and a conference championship. Betts said Russell sees the development of young men as more important than developing basketball players.
