Building Career Pathways & Support Systems ft. Iberia Parish Leaders | Lessons Learned | Ep 4
How can districts evolve to support every educator and every student?
In this episode of Lessons Learned, our host Matt is joined by members of Iberia Parish’s team, Brett Ferguson, Kirsten Dutile, and Kyla Aucoin, for a powerful conversation on building sustainable systems of support for both teachers and students.
Drawing on their diverse journeys into education, the team shares how Iberia Parish is redefining professional development, prioritizing tailored support for educators at all stages of their careers, and leveraging strategic partnerships like the one with BetterLesson to create lasting impact.
Together, we explore key topics such as:
- The value of differentiated support and 1:1 coaching for new and veteran teachers
- How to create and sustain meaningful career pathways for students beyond the traditional four-year college track
- Why evolving educational systems must meet diverse student needs and community expectations
- The role of accountability in educational investments and the strategic use of resources
- How intentional partnerships elevate both educator growth and student outcomes
Whether you're a district leader, school administrator, or education advocate, this episode offers actionable insights for building responsive, future-ready systems that put people, students and teachers, at the center.
