How One Miami Teacher’s Unconventional Football Strategy Transformed Lives and Caught National Attention
Advertisement
Surrounded by her third graders, Crippen listened as Stephenson and the Paytons explained why her curriculum, social media reach and focus on character make her “in a class of her own.” For Crippen, the moment was surreal — not because of the spotlight, but because it showed students that what they do in class every day matters just as much as what happens on the field.
About the educator
Crippen teaches third grade in Miami-Dade County Public Schools, where she is best known for calling out “Class, class!” — and hearing a chorus of “Yes, yes!” in response — as she pulls students into lessons built around the NFL season. In the video, students talk about how she “teaches math and football” together and how “the whole class, including Ms. Crippin, we’re all working together and it’s really fun.”
