“You ALL helped rejuvenate our faith in WHY we choose to become teachers.” Thank You 🙏 @JocoTeach for TEACHING our @CTruittNCDPI @ncpublicschools Team about a group of amazing individuals who have chosen to become teachers! This program is beyond inspiring… #BeginsWithATeacher

@FreebirdsShire @ncpublicschools @TabariWallace @twinologist @StoverScience @Gina4Lit @edstateboard_nc @CTruittNCDPI Thank you so much for an amazing day! One BT said it was the "shot of enthusiasm" she needed, and one student said it was "life changing"!

So great to be surrounded by so many #EducatorDiplomats TODAY, New and Old, as @ncpublicschools worked with @JocoTeach and Suzanne Sweat. @TabariWallace @twinologist @StoverScience @Gina4Lit it was great to see so many BT’s and Teacher Cadets! #BeginsWithATeacher

What an amazing day! JoCo Teach students and beginning teachers gleaned strategies and wisdom from the 2018 and 2020 Teachers of the Year, Teacher Advisor to the State Superintendent, and 2018 Principal of the Year! Thank you Freebird, Mo, Julie, and Tabaris! #whatsinaname

Teacher Cadet 1 visited Innovation Academy today! We learned all about social- emotional and self-paced learning. Thanks, Pioneers, for an awesome day!

Yesterday, JCPS Board Member Terri Sessoms spoke with our JoCo Teach students about the role of school boards and how education has changed over the years since she first started teaching. Thank you, Mrs. Sessoms, for your insight!

SSS students may pick up any needed technology & learning materials 8/12-8/14. This is a change in the previously announced schedule. Social distancing will be in effect. Staff will be present to assist you. Arrive in your car by the curb near the band room. @DavidKAllen_

Congrats SSS Class of 2020!

JoCo Teach wants to say thank you to all the teachers who have inspired us to be educators. The students made this slideshow to let you know how amazing we think you are. Thank you, and happy Teacher Appreciation Week! docs.google.com/presentation/d…
