Odd-angled questions. Teaching as marathon running. Balancing humility and confidence in the classroom. Zeke is so masterful yet so modest about his craft. He talks so vulnerably about his constant refinement of his practice, and he tells us about the amazing work being done at Excel Academy Charter High School in East Boston.Zeke was a winner of the highly selective Fishman Prize in 2015. He first began teaching with the Breakthrough Collaborative in Cambridge and also tutored students in Holyoke as a student in Amherst College. Afterwards, he taught in New York City with Bronx Leadership Academy Two and then later was a founding teacher at Democracy Prep’s first high school. Since he has moved back to Boston, he has served as a founding teacher at two Excel Academy Charter Schools and is currently an instructional leader at their East Boston High School.
