Episode 57 - Belonging & Belief: What Makes NCSD Instruction Special

In this inspiring debut episode of Season #4, we track down Superintendent Dr. Shay James as she wraps up her districtwide tour of every NCSD school within the first six weeks of the year.  Joined by Assistant Superintendent Dr. Ivonne Dibblee and Executive Director of Teaching & Learning Tammy O’Neill, Dr. James details what impressed her the most during her visits, especially when it comes to how NCSD teachers are consistently structuring their lesson plans.  Meanwhile, Dr. Dibblee takes a “STOIC” approach to the impressive way teachers are engaging with students, and Director O’Neill shares inspirational stories about how NCSD staff are reshaping student behavior through daily doses of positivity.
