The Literacy Mindset podcast is featured by MindPlay and brings together education leaders to explore current and future K-12 instruction. Focused on curriculum, teaching and innovation, it offers insights into literacy, personalized learning and technology, helping educators improve student outcomes and drive meaningful change in schools.
Glass, Springdale Public School’s federal programs coordinator, and Bradow, district English as a Second Language program director, are featured in an episode titled "Exploring ESL Challenges and Solutions in a Growing School District.”
With over three decades of combined experience, Glass and Bradow take listeners behind the scenes of one of the most linguistically diverse and economically challenged districts in the nation.
You’ll discover how Springdale is innovating literacy instruction through targeted English language development, federally funded family literacy programs and data-driven teacher collaboration. From navigating a student body that speaks over 49 languages to adapting curriculum and technology for multilingual learners, this episode is a blueprint for inclusive, effective and equitable literacy education.
Whether you’re a district leader, classroom teacher, or education advocate, this conversation delivers practical insights on how to meet students—and their families—where they are and help them thrive.
