🎙️ Beyond the Box - Episode 2
In this episode of Beyond the Box, Dr. Ronald Taylor sits down with Dixie Rosier, Assistant Superintendent of Learning & Instruction for HOBBS MUNICIPAL SCHOOLS, to discuss how districts can move beyond traditional instructional models to build literacy-rich cultures and meaningful career pathways.
The conversation explores:
- Making literacy joyful, visible, and community-centered
- Investing in teacher excellence and National Board Certification
- Designing inclusive CTE pathways connected to local industry
- Sustaining instructional coherence in a volatile, oil-and-gas-dependent economy
A core takeaway for district leaders: relevance, coherence, and long-term commitment matter more than one-size-fits-all solutions. Strong literacy foundations and career pathways don’t compete - they reinforce each other when built intentionally and sustained over time.
This is the second episode in our ongoing weekly series.
