The Lesson Plan - 1st Episode
The Lesson Plan takes you inside the classrooms of Denver Public Schools to explore how better curriculum, stronger instruction, and intentional strategies are driving student success. Hosted by Nicole Brady, this podcast brings you candid conversations with district leaders, educators, and experts who are shaping the learning experience every day.
In our debut episode, Nicole sits down with Dr. Simone Wright, DPS Chief of Academics, for a high-level look at why high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) matter, how they’re transforming teaching and learning across the district, and what parents and families should know about the work happening behind the scenes.
From literacy and math to career pathways and the role of AI in classrooms, each episode will break down complex ideas into real stories of impact—showing how every student is supported to thrive.
The Lesson Plan is your guide to understanding how DPS is preparing students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to write their own success stories.
