Luke Wiley (@LukeWileyED) | #BowTieTuesday
Introduction: This week’s #BowTieTuesday Educator Spotlight and final one for 2018, goes to an up and coming educator, eager to join the front lines in 2019. I have had the pleasure of getting to know this up and coming educator as he graced the halls of NBHS as a student teacher in a world history classroom. With no further adieu, the Edu-Rock Star that I’ll be recognizing this week is none other than Mr. Luke Wiley, (@LukeWileyED), a high school social studies teacher at anywhere that’s hiring!
You’re welcome Luke! 😉
Educational Pursuit: Luke is steadily at work to complete his master’s degree in social studies education from Rutgers University in May. He has decided to join the ranks due to a feeling that he struggled to find along his educational path: a real connection between the content being discussed in class and its applicability to our everyday setting. He hopes to provide students with
Most Memorable Moment: Having logged only four months of mileage on his educator journey, Luke’s most memorable moment has been when his students are able to recall something he told them after a long weekend away!
Personal Learning Interests: Juggling the fast-paced nature of student teaching, Luke hasn’t found much time to read any good literature lately. He would like to spend some time reading more books, both fictional and non-fiction.
The Fun Stuff
Luke’s go-to Karaoke Song: Remix to Ignition by R. Kelly
Luke’s Inside Scoop: Luke once ran a mile in four minutes and eleven seconds. He is also an AVID Blokus fanatic, having lost to me on many occasions.
Luke, welcome to the ranks! We are extremely excited to be gaining such a dynamic, passionate educator who is surely going to change the game and move education forward. While I am saddened that your time here at NBHS is coming to a close, I am very much looking forward to watching your impact unfold on the Twitter-Verse and I am grateful for the friendship we have nowadays and the positive impact you have had on my PLN!
Thanks for reading and sharing!
Bow-Tie Joe
