The Jordan School District’s Teaching & Learning department is proud to introduce the Jordan Journey podcast. The Jordan Journey is a monthly education podcast featuring teacher stories from across the Jordan School District in Utah.

In this episode, our hosts Jared Covili and Kiera Beddes sit down with Carolyn Gough, Director of Teaching and Learning

Over the course of this episode, we discuss the following questions:

Icebreaker Question: Who is an inspiring leader to you? Why?

1. Tell us the spark notes version of your educational career. How did you end up where you are today?
2. What are your goals as the Teaching and Learning Administrator?
3. How has technology changed the landscape of learning for teachers and students over the course of your career? 
4. What should a student be learning throughout their time in the Jordan School District?  Skills? Dispositions?
5. In your experience as a principal and in the teaching & learning department, how do you measure success of professional learning with educators? 
6. What are the three most important things to keep in mind when designing learning experiences?  
7. Why is it important to personalize learning to meet the needs and interests of all students?
