That is why, after 30 years of teaching first and second grade, Testerman got an endorsement to teach English as a second language in 2022…
On Wednesday, the Council of Chief State School Officers announced that Testerman was chosen to receive the national title from among the state teachers of the year. First lady Jill Biden surprised Testerman during a nationally televised appearance Wednesday morning with a bouquet of flowers and the news that she and the nation’s other top teachers will be treated to a state dinner at the White House.
As Teacher of the Year, Testerman will spend a year traveling the country as an ambassador, urging other teachers to become strong advocates for their students and fellow educators.
