Maestro Monday: Mr. Dziuba on Teaching, Leadership & Why School Should Be Fun

On this special Maestro Monday edition of The Zebra Morning Show, Mr. Nesi sits down with Mr. Dziuba, NBHS’s 2025–2026 Educator of the Year and now a two-time winner of the honor. Mr. Dziuba reflects on what the recognition means to him as a first-generation college graduate and how it represents the “fruits of the labor” after more than a decade of growth at New Brunswick High School.The conversation dives deep into Mr. Dziuba’s philosophy on teaching math, where numbers are the vehicle — but life skills, confidence, consistency, and vulnerability are the real lessons. He shares how math anxiety, discipline, communication, and showing up prepared all connect to success beyond the classroom. The episode wraps with a powerful discussion about why extracurricular involvement matters so much to him, how school “saved his life,” and why learning should always be fun.-----Submit a shout out: ⁠https://forms.gle/xUhbEC2WU92pewSi9⁠Send us a voicemail: ⁠https://zebrapodcastnetwork.com/shoutout⁠Connect with the Zebra Podcast NetworkX: ⁠https://twitter.com/zebrapodcastnet⁠Instagram: ⁠https://instagram.com/zebrapodcastnet⁠TikTok: https://tiktok.com/zebrapodcastnetYouTube: ⁠http://zebrapodcastnetwork.com/youtube⁠Twitch: ⁠http://zebrapodcastnetwork.com/twitch⁠Website: ⁠http://zebrapodcastnetwork.com
