Lisää The Friday Dive

Across North Carolina, wonderful things are happening every day in our public schools: students overcoming challenges, educators innovating in their classrooms, and communities rallying around learning. Too often, though, these stories go unheard. At the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation, we believe that changing the conversation about public education begins with listening to the people at its heart. Inspired by William Friday’s lifelong commitment to education and public service, we recently launched a new initiative: a statewide podcast designed to elevate authentic, first-hand stories from North Carolina’s public schools. Through this podcast, The Friday Dive, we are “flipping the script” on commonly misunderstood or negatively framed issues in education. Each season focuses on a timely theme such as computer science and AI in schools, teacher motivation and retention, recovery from natural disasters, or the impact of targeted funding. Episodes feature educators, students and school communities sharing what is working and why it matters. These are not abstract success stories and are grounded in personal narratives that build understanding, trust and public pride in our schools.

Episode 2 - "Stick with it"

In this episode of The Friday Dive, we spoke to two educators about how they motivate and encourage students to persist in the computer science field. Holly Laird, a computer science teacher in Wake County, and Russell Dirgo, a former computer science teacher and current employee at the Friday Institute, share their thoughts about the computer science and AI landscape, interactions they've had with current and former students, and encouraging their students to "stick with it" and not be afraid to fail. If you have any stories you'd want to share with us, or want to tell us about your favorite teacher, feel free to send us an email at kwinn@ncsu.edu [kwinn@ncsu.edu] (Kevin) or aarenas@ncsu.edu [aarenas@ncsu.edu] (Aaron).
