The 2021 National Teacher of the Year is back and better than ever! A believer in outdoor education for all, Juliana worked with her elementary special education students for years to have them develop a school and community garden.  As 2021 National Teacher of the Year, Juliana advocated for a “joyous and just” education for all students, one that is inclusive and celebratory of all students’ identities, families and communities. Since being announced as National Teacher of the Year in May 2021, Juliana has shared her “joyous and just” message with pre-service teachers, educators and policymakers across the country – including at the White House – and through U.S. and international media, including People Magazine, the TODAY Show, Univision, Telemundo, and Colombia’s El Pais, El Espectador, and RCN Noticias.You can follow Juliana on Instagram at @julianaurtubeyLike Teachers Passing Notes?
