“It’s not enough to put a plan in place, but we have to come back to it and talk about it regularly.” -Mary Nichols, Principal of Weaverville Elementary on the importance of the principal/instructional coach relationship. #GreaterHeights

Friday is a great day for instructional rounds @BuncombeSchools! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate a great week of teaching and learning than to visit the classrooms of top notch teachers and great kids at Eblen Intermediate School.

@BuncombeSchools Instructional Coaches spent the morning being coached on how the Teaching & Learning tool from @GreatMindsEd Wit & Wisdom can be used to plan for PLC support. I'm excited to see this learning in action across our district! @JennReed23 @Dr_Rob_Jackson

The ACS EC Support Team is honored to recognize our amazing principals during Principal Appreciation Month! Thanks for all you do! #ACSCougarPride #ACSFederalPrograms

Great meeting for "Women In The Lead" at the Superintendent Executive Leadership Program Cohort XI. #LeadershipMatters #NCSSA

Made my whole day to see this @IsaacDicksonAVL class engaged in some serious community building AND fluency work. ❤️ #youbelonginACS #ACSCougarPride

Always a mood-lifter to visit @IsaacDicksonAVL's kinders! From self-portraits to housekeeping to tye-dying, it was a busy morning! ❤️🎨🧹🏡 #youbelonginACS #ACSCougarPride

Let’s go NC educators!! Keep showing them what you are made of… wisdom, compassion, strength and endurance!! #SuperHeroes #KidsFirst #NCReadLeadSucceed

Today's staggered start for K meant teachers could come together for ELI training before heading out on home visits! ACS supports building positive relationships! @NCDPI_OEL ##youbelonginACS #ACSCougarPride

A special shout out to Sgt.

When your district prioritizes MTSS and strong core instruction all students win. #ACSCougarPride #youbelonginACS

Our "Welcome to ACS" meeting for new EC teachers gave us precious time to orient everyone to our district's priorities - including the value of asset-based language and using an equity lens in the creation of IEPs. #ACSCougarPride #YouBelongHere #ACSFederalPrograms

Happiest of birthdays April Collins .....you make our lives brighter! ❤️

Another great day @AVLCitySchools Leadership Conference. In order to focus on equitable instructional practices .... and we also have to take care of ourselves and each other during the journey. #SELforleaders #ACSCougarPride
