With guests Monique Smalls, District Transformation Coach, South Carolina Department of Education and Christy Dodd, Principal, Flat Rock Elementary School, Anderson School District 3.
As we investigated excellent schools in our Beating the Odds Investigative Study, we noticed that there was something special, something noticeably different, about the cultures at these schools. When we asked members of the school community to describe that difference in one word, the word we heard the most was “family.” We’ll speak with two leaders about how they supported a school culture where everyone feels committed to supporting everyone else’s success.
The Education Beat…Evidence to Excellence is a podcast that transforms the research, findings, and evidence gathered by the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee into compelling stories. From real voices on the ground to the ideas driving change, we bring you the conversations that matter most to educators, administrators, and families in our state. Join us as we pull back the curtain on what the data really tells us. You’ll hear from educators and experts across South Carolina and unpack the trends and challenges shaping education today.
