Old Rochester Regional (ORR) School District and MA Superintendency Union #55 Superintendent Michael S. Nelson is pleased to share that Assistant Superintendent of Student Services Jaime Curley was recently featured on Corwin’s “Teacher to Teacher” podcast.
Curley joined host Dr. Carol Pelletier Radford and fellow guest John Almarode for the premiere episode of Season 4, which focuses on the theme of Mentoring in Action.

Curley shared her own experience with the topic, giving her insights on the importance of mentoring and honest feedback within teaching. Curley, Almarode, and Radford also discussed the necessity of personalized and contextualized support for teachers in the current academic climate.
“I’d like to thank Dr. Carol Pelletier Radford for the opportunity to participate in this podcast,” Assistant Superintendent of Student Services Curley said. “We had an intentional and thoughtful conversation about the important role of today’s mentors, and I left the podcast with new perspectives and stories to consider.”
