We appreciate teachers from across North Carolina joining us for "Writing in the Secondary English Classroom" at #NCCAT Cullowhee. We examined ways to write and how best to introduce various writing techniques to your students while providing useful, timely feedback.

Love wrapping up @NCCATNews sessions with a coffee shop sharing hour. We can all benefit from knowing what someone “likes a latte” about our teaching this year.

We are honored to have not one, but two former North Carolina Teachers of the Year in Cullowhee leading programs this week! @DarcyGrimesNC and @KDickersonNCTOY are engaging and sharing knowledge with our wonderful teacher participants. Thank you!

The final blog in the 3-part series from NC TOYs: Caring During a Global Pandemic from @CindiRigsbee and @KDickersonNCTOY "When a community comes together, even while keeping six feet apart, we can accomplish much more than when we work in isolation." nnstoy.org/stoyblog/carin…

Sage advice from NC Superintendent of the Year on innovation in our schools: “Don’t accept shade from a tree that doesn’t bear fruit.” Innovation can be met with opposition, but it’s how we respond to opposition that matters.

Team building and personal reflection on Day 1 of NCCAT Teacher Leadership Institute. @NCCATNews

Are the current barriers to entry for the teaching profession the best indicators of quality teaching? We explored this with @ChadAldeman in our session “Qualifiers that Matter (and Those that Don’t). #NCEdLab2020 #NCEd

In our session on Knowing and Capturing Your Candidate Audience, Zach Levine, shed light on where and how we lose perspective educators and how, through initiatives like @TeachNCOrg, we can address leaks in the pipeline. #NCEdLab2020 #NCEd

Having the conversation around recruitment & retention barriers. Elevating our BIPOC in this discussion. How can we support more Black women who are leaving the profession in higher numbers? #NCEdlab2020

Perception matters. How can we eliminate deleterious views of teachers as superheroes or martyrs and instead view them as the trained professionals they are? #NCEdLab2020

Examining teacher recruitment this morning. Fascinating data on success indicators for teachers. #NCEdLab2020

Earlier this year, the NC STRIDE working group formed to dive into the conversation around teacher recruitment in North Carolina. The working group was phase one and #NCEdLab2020 is phase two.
