Season 1 of The Promise Podcast is a wrap and we can’t wait to bring you Season 2, starting September 1st!  Our second season will launch a new episode on the first of every month. But don’t worry, if you missed any of the Season 1 episodes, you’ve got time to catch up! Then tune in September 1st for the launch of Season 2 with an episode all about RISE- the Reading Initiative for Student Excellence and the Science of Reading.  As you might have heard RISE is taking over Arkansas and we are talking with an ADE Representative to tell you all you need to know.

While you’re waiting, check out some of our past episodes.  Here are a few of my person favorites-

Preparing students for a successful future is the primary goal for every educator, but sometimes students in rural schools don’t have a clear picture of all that is available to them for college or career.

Standards Based Reporting is becoming a widely used method for grading in schools. If you missed it, check out Season 1, episodes 1 & 2, where we take a look at SBR from a variety of perspectives.
