First certified African American Teacher in Mountain View Gotebo Schools, Oklahoma
Sean Buchanan‘s autobiographical 4.5 minute video he created last week and shared on our Celebrate Oklahoma Voices learning community is outstanding. (“You’re Going Where?“) The way he told this story really caught me by surprise when he shared it. I’ve given away the surprise with the title of this post, which Sean included in the description of the video, but I think you’ll still find it VERY compelling despite this spoiler. Way to go Sean.

Several videos from last week’s COV workshop are now featured on our learning community website. This summer Storychasers is presenting one or two COV workshops around the state of Oklahoma EACH week. Our lead facilitators will feature different videos after each workshop, so keep checking back for new content throughout the summer.

Sorry it’s taken so long to comment on Sean Buchanan’s inspiring story on becoming the first certified African American teacher in Mountain View Gotebo history. I am so glad that you had the courage to tell your story. This is a positive step towards over coming ignorance and intollerance. Your success will inspire others to apply for positions in the district and also encourage other African American’s in your family and community to further their education.
