On this episode of Smile Politely Radio, we are joined by Smile Politely editor and Centennial High English teacher Caleb Curtiss. He expounds on his recent article about, and interview with, new interim Unit 4 Superintendent Dr. Robert Malito.
Topics covered:
- The problems that Malito is inheriting
- Whether it’s possible to make any real or lasting changes in 100 days
- What makes Unit 4 such a unique and difficult district to run
- The good things that are happening in Unit 4, both existing and changes that Malito has already implemented
- How a superintendent impacts the day-to-day work of teachers in a district
In addition, Caleb discusses his thoughts as he begins his second year teaching English at Centennial High School. In particular, he explains how his experience and cynicism are helpful tools.
This week’s episode was cohosted by Jason Brown and John Steinbacher.
