Ep 1: Improving teacher retention; how the Pemayetv Emahakv Charter School is preserving Native American culture Oct 20, 2018

Show notes

Welcome to Big Ideas in Education! Each week, the BIIE hosts will bring you their favorite topical stories of inspiration and innovation in your schools. But this show is more than just an education news show; our diverse panel of education professionals are to inform you, to motivate you, and to provide you with actionable tips to make you the best teacher, administrator, student, or education advocate that you can be.
This week, the show is broadcasting from the exhibit hall at the Florida Charter School Conference in Orlando. Our hosts discuss the latest insights in improving teacher recruitment, retention, and recognition. They also talk about the innovative model of the Pemayetv Emahakv Charter School in Okeechobee, Florida. Pemayetv Emahakv was the talk of the Conference, both for its incredible program designed to preserve and strengthen the Seminole culture, as well as for the fact that its fourth grade math teacher Joy Prescott was recognized as the 2019 Florida Teacher of the Year. Ms. Prescott is the first charter school teacher in Florida to receive this honor (Congratulations, Ms. Prescott!).
