About This Podcast

Welcome to The Blue Ribbon Project, a new podcast from CITE in NYC. In this podcast we’ll explore issues of education in NYC, Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk. We’ll meet with a fascinating array of voices from across the city, and we’ll learn about how they’re handling various issues of education in the time of COVID and beyond. We’ll follow a PLC of Principals in Brooklyn striving for Blue Ribbon status, and we’ll learn from Professional Development facilitators about current topics teachers and administrators need to know about.
