It’s time for another Teacher Tidbit Tuesday and, friends, I have been saving this one for today…
Let’s get to know a little more about Andy Tucker!
Andy grew up in Arlington, TX, and was pretty quiet and shy, but did band because that's where his friends were.
Mr. Tucker attended Texas A&M for his Bachelors, and Tarleton State for Masters.
He and his wife have three kids at OC Taylor (PreK, 2nd, 4th) and his wife volunteers/subs there often. He enjoys attending metal concerts, playing metal music, smoking meats (fire and meat is pretty metal), and occasionally golfing.
Andy loves CTMS because he’s somewhat of a big kid himself. “I feel like I'm in my natural element, and I like the flexibility of having all the holidays off. I was in advertising and marketing before becoming a teacher, so I'm happy I still get to use my creativity and eye for design aesthetics in making my lessons and bringing that lens into my instructional approach.”
My favorite thing about Andy is that I can always count on him to tell me the truth, and show me a different perspective, even if it isn’t his own. My second favorite thing about Andy is his sense of humor, and a lot of that comes through on dress-up days. I always look forward to seeing what he’s going to wear, and had a lot of giggles creeping on his Facebook page to pull some of my favorite get-ups!
And since it’s the week before Christmas, let’s start with some of his Santa costumes!
