Representing jersey day. #WCPSSSpiritWeek

I had amazing classroom visits this week at Zebulon Gifted & Talented Magnet Middle School and Buckhorn Creek ES. There were lots of authentic and intentional learning experiences for students and student engagement and articulation of learning was superb! EL Education

Shoutout to Moore Square GT/AIG Basics Magnet Middle for a great job with 2022 Career Day. One highlight was when I asked a student who inspired them. The student responded, The Prime Minister of New Zealand then quoted, “Leadership is the ability to confront the anxiety of the people of the time”.

What an inspiring visit at Allenbrook Elementary School today. Let’s remind our students every day to “remember why you are here, remember where you are going, and remember how you will get there”. Kimberly Vaught

Every time we ask students, “What was the name of the town in which the character in this story lived?”, we leave less time for questions like, “Why do you think the characters never left home?”. - J Alfie Kohn EL Education

One of the best to ever do it! I consider it an honor to have worked with and learned from you. Congratulations on your retirement Chrys Browne!

During my AM podcast listening this quote was referenced & it relates to many aspects of life. Professionally I immediately thought of the amazing work of PLCs Buckhorn Creek ES . Our teams are rowing in unison and keeping it about the boat . I am honored to work alongside them.

"The AIM Conference was strategically planned to provide sessions that I was interested in and that aligned to the things we’re doing in our district. I enjoyed being able to extend my knowledge and dig deeper into things we’re already doing.” - Shawn Johnson. Wake County Public School System #NCAIM2024

My final session at the EL conference was led by a high school and middle school student. Their closing quote, “Coming from a student who has been in the valley and at the top of the mountain, the hike is a whole lot easier when you have someone to guide you”. #ELNC24
