Episode # 64: Steven Gupton

Steven Gupton is a CTE Teacher at James E. Shepard IB Magnet Middle School in Durham Public Schools. Steven is a son, brother, paramedic, educator, coach, and member of the NCAE Educators of Color Cohort. He has served his community his entire life. In high school, he began volunteering in his local fire department and his love for public service began to grow. 16 years later, he is still going. Four years ago, he walked away from his role as an EMS administrator to join the Black men that made up the 2% of educators in our profession and he’s glad he did. He believes EVERY child can learn, and he will always fight for those that are underserved and underrepresented. Follow Steven on Twitter @guptonteaches
