Nanette Yurecko

This time to hear the journey of “original educator” Nanette Yurecko, affectionately known as Nan. What started off as an observation in her high school while serving as a teacher’s assistant in a special education classroom blossomed into a fabulous mission and service in education spanning 30 years. In other words, Nanette has been a warrior in equity/cultural responsiveness since day one. Known best for her time as an assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction in the Brooklyn Center Schools, Yurecko has always been a strong and loud advocate for the underserved. In-depth would be one word to describe her journey as she reflects on the decades of service she has given to countless students and educators. And her work continues today as she mentors future educators going into senior leadership.
