Events

Even though the pay was not what she had hoped, Keana Triplett knew that teaching was the profession for her. Eleven years later as the 2015-2016 North Carolina Teacher of the Year, Keana uses what she knows about great teaching and learning to promote the education profession. After a year of traveling the state with a message of hope and inspiration for pre-service, novice, and veteran educators, Keana returned to the classroom at Watauga High School, where she is now the Digital Learning Coach.
