Welcome to the Teach Plus Podcast!
This season we will be investigating the key issues taking place in Rhode Island education as well as delving into the work being done by the Teach Plus Fellows along side the Rhode Island Department of Education. In Episode 6, we investigate the changes that Rhode Island has brought to the High School experience through their PrepareRI and Individualized Learning Plan projects. First, Spencer Sherman - Director of the Office of College and Career Readiness at the Rhode Island Department of Education tells us about his office's work in breaking down barriers and creating pathways to completing college and becoming career ready. Next, we hear from Teach Plus Fellow Kristine LaPierre - English Teacher from Hope High School in Providence about her work in helping the Providence Public School District develop their Individualized Learning Plan. Then Teach Plus Fellow Danielle Bercovicz - Special Education Teacher Leader at Mount Pleasant High School in Providence talks about the importance of data and individualization in special education. Finally, Keith Nalbach - Teach Plus Policy Fellow and Advisor at The Metropolitan Regional Career and Technical Center (The Met) in Providence - talks about how schools need to go even further to reach the whole student.
Join us for new episodes every Friday as we delve into issues such as Recruiting and Retaining Teachers of Color, Culturally Responsive and Sustaining Curriculum, Multilingual Learner Education, Teacher Pre-Service Education, and the future of education in Rhode Island. The Teach Plus Podcast is produced by Senior Policy Fellow - Raymond Steinmetz (@blended_math).
The mission of Teach Plus is to empower excellent, experienced, and diverse teachers to take leadership over key policy and practice issues that advance equity, opportunity, and student success. Teach Plus believes that all students should have the opportunity to achieve their potential in an education system defined by its commitment to equity, its responsiveness to individual needs, and its ability to prepare students for postsecondary success. Teach Plus believes that when we invest in developing our most talented teachers into teacher leaders who are well-informed, persuasive, and prepared to lead, they have deep leverage in advancing equity for students, especially for students of color, low-income students, and those from underserved communities.
