This series may feature some of NC's finest English Language educators, but we hope listeners from a variety of content areas and backgrounds will listen to the story of how likeminded educators came together to strengthen their impact by sharing lessons, problem solving, and collaborating through GoOpenNC - and we'd love to see other communities come together to do the same!

Part 1 is an interview with DPI ESL & Title III Consultant, Xatlí Stox, and English Language Arts & Languages Section Chief, Dr. Kristi Day. Start with this episode to get a better understanding of what the EL Teacher Network is and how these two DPI leaders are creating (virtual!) space for teachers to come together to build agency through collaboration and sharing.

Part 2 features several educators from the EL Teacher Network discussing the success of the collaboration, how GoOpenNC has transformed the work they're doing, and how YOU can connect with them, or other educators, on using the platform yourself.
