Lynn Darby, high school History teacher and Founder of the Teacher's Lounge, joins us for a spotlight podcast episode. Lynn Darby was born and raised in South Central Pennsylvania. Coming from a small but tight-knit family, Lynn had the opportunity to watch both his mom and uncle serve as educators from a young age. This, along with a strong intrinsic desire to make a positive impact in the world, inspired Lynn to pursue a career in education. Graduating from Temple University in Fall '21 and Relay Grad School of Education in Spring '24, Lynn currently works as a high school history teacher at MacArthur High School, Washington, DC's first new public high school in over 30 years. In his free time, Lynn enjoys watching Steelers football, cooking, working out, and spending time with friends.   You'll hear about: - Lynn's journey to becoming a teacher. - The Teacher's Lounge's initiatives to provide networking and fellowship opportunities for educators in DC. - The importance of diversity and representation in the education field. - How cultivating positive student relationships improves student outcomes.   Links Mentioned: - Learn more about the Teacher's Lounge: https://www.instagram.com/teacherslounge.dc/ - Listen to the Teacher's Lounge podcast: https://lellisdllc.podbean.com/ - Listen to the Modern Classrooms Project Podcast: https://www.modernclassrooms.org/podcasts  - Nominate a teacher for our Honored National Teaching Award: https://www.honored.org/nominate/ - Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/honored/ - Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/honored/ - Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Honored.org/ - Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/honored.org - Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@honoredteachers - Read the episode transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UomhrxPKnL4Evljp5DIjQu9LaeJaBBh9JTIOiVPjAw8/edit?usp=sharing   Episode Music Credits: - Music by DanaMusic: https://pixabay.com/users/danamusic-31920663/ - Music by AudioCoffee: https://www.audiocoffee.net/
