Beyond My Years: Teaching takes joy, starring Rebecka Peterson

  • Résumé

  • The latest episode of Beyond My Years features 2023 National Teacher of the Year — and math educator! — Rebecka Peterson.

    On the episode, Host Ana Torres and Rebecka discuss their similar experiences as young immigrants to the United States. Rebecka shares all that she has come to love and appreciate about the K–12 environment after a tough transition from teaching college-level courses. She also reveals her most important lesson learned: Teach humans over content. Rebecka talks about her “One Good Thing” blog, where she documented daily positives in her classroom that transformed her perspective on teaching. She shares personal experiences of feeling like an outsider and how those experiences drive her to create an environment of belonging for her students. Rebecka stresses the significance of building authentic relationships with students as well as the impact of mentors in education. Taking all those lessons back to the classroom, Eric and Ana discuss strategies like “rebellious joy” that are essential to sustaining a long career in education.

    Quotes:
    “That's how we build our joy, how we build our resiliency—when we do the work together.” —Rebecka Peterson

    “I thought…I had to earn my seat at the table. I don't want any kid to ever think they have to earn their spot. I want them to know they are in, exactly as they are. There is no need to perform. They are loved on their good days, their hard days, whether they make the 'A' or not—they are in. And more than that, they are celebrated.” —Rebecka Peterson

    “It takes a lot of courage to stand in the present. It is mindfulness. It is joy.” —Rebecka Peterson

    “This was like training my brain to become a good noticer and to take delight in my students’ quirks, and their genius, and their goofiness, as well as their beauty.” —Rebecka Peterson
