Tausha Frison

Tausha Frison has been a middle school educator for over two decades. She has taught speech communications, social studies, and English/Language Arts. She has also worked as a teacher mentor, a curriculum designer, and served on several committees. Most recently, she has worked with the IEA Opportunity Coalition in conjunction with the Northwestern University Teacher Leadership  Pathways program. This program is designed to support leaders working to create just schools and communities throughout Illinois. She and other participants engaged in a year-long examination of the root causes of racial and social injustice, practiced personal reflection, and began working to build just schools and communities.

In summer 2023, Tausha  journeyed to Africa with The Witness Tree Institute of Ghana. Tausha acquired first hand knowledge of Ghanaian culture. This two week professional development experience also enriched her understanding of African history. Tausha has a deep desire to learn more about the continent of Africa and is excited to begin studying with BU’s African Studies Center. She is planning to utilize her TAT certification as a stepping stone for higher education opportunities.
