Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

[EdTalks] $100K a Year: The Power of Booster Clubs
Q: How do booster clubs interact with the school and its athletic programs on a day-to-day basis?
Athletics directors communicate needs and fundraising goals to the booster club, who then raise funds through concessions, tickets, sponsorships, and events to support equipment, facilities, travel, and uniforms.
[EdTalks] $100K a Year: The Power of Booster Clubs
Q: What is a booster club, and how is it different from other parent organizations?
A booster club is a volunteer group focused specifically on supporting athletics, coordinating fundraising and volunteering to help with expenses beyond what the district funds, and it operates across all sports rather than per-team.
[EdTalks] Celebrating 10 Years of Impact through GATE
Q: If someone is interested in becoming a GATE teacher, talk a little bit just about the process, like what happens, because I think that is something that is interesting.
Interested individuals attend information sessions, meet eligibility criteria (bachelor's in a related field, GPA 2.5+), undergo a district screening interview, receive a statement of eligibility, apply to vacancies, and join the summer academy and cohort-based program.
[EdTalks] Celebrating 10 Years of Impact through GATE
Q: So start with basic history of the GATE program. And as I've said before, it's such a great example of the way that public education partners and the districts can work together when it works perfectly.
The program began as a collaborative effort between Greenville County Schools and Public Education Partners to address shortages in math and science by creating a district-embedded alternative certification pathway, later expanding into a broader workforce development strategy.
The Moments That Shaped Greenville
Q: What five historical markers would you put in Greenville if you could raise five markers today?
Russell envisions markers that reflect the deep, inclusive history of Greenville—from the Cherokee land beginnings and Richard Parris's role to later civic plans and notable figures like Max Heller, while also considering how the markers can tell a story of inclusion and transformation as the city grows.
