On today's show...
Educators from the Philippines have been teaching in McLaughlin, South Dakota, for five years. Now, as their visas expire, SDPB’s C.J. Keene reports on their upcoming bittersweet departure.
Brian Sime says he works in his own backyard every day. His backyard is just 145 miles long. We meet South Dakota’s Rural Letter Carrier of the Year and get a peek at his work in the Revillo community.
Donovan Rypkema makes the argument that what makes a South Dakota town unlike anywhere else is its historic structures. We learn about the economic benefits of preserving that history.
Rypkema is the principal and CEO of PlaceEconomics, a Washington, D.C.-based real estate and economic development consulting firm. He is the keynote speaker for the 2024 Historic Preservation Conference in Sioux Falls.
Plus, we talk about how finding a mentor begins with noticing the leadership of those around you. Our Teacher Talk panel explores mentorship in education and beyond.
