S4 Ep59: Episode 59 - No Business Like Inspiring Students

from Proud To Be NCSD · host Proud To Be NCSD

When it comes to career paths, NCSD educators are often empowered to take a leap of faith: Some may choose to switch classroom locations, switch grade levels, or even switch to different schools throughout their career. But in this episode, we meet several teachers who took perhaps the biggest leap of faith possible—they switched to totally new careers by choosing to teach in our district. Meet the culinary chef who now stirs up student excitement at Sabin Schellenberg (Shadow CdeBaca), the former pastry pro who never allows Alder Creek students to have a crumb-y day (Andy McAlister), and three Riverside Elementary teachers who all traded in memos for math lessons (Deena Nakata, Natalie Arias, Chris Stamm).
