When kids cheat on assignments it is because they have been taught that grades outweigh the importance of knowing things. We need to fix this.

When 3rd graders earn game day so you sneakily let them play different spatial reasoning and strategy games. 😂 #braingames #FridayFun

We’re going to miss TheCreekBCMS wrestling. All the boys grew so much as athletes! I’m not sure what path Davis will take next, but I hope to see him on the mat again Croatan High School! Undefeated in his weight class & maintained A’s & B’s. Carteret County Public School System It was a perfect season!

This week our children sent their condolences with this 24’ banner filled with the nearly 800 ducks they prepared for our Down East friends. #carteretstrong #woesrocks #BrighterTogether

My Whiteoak Elementary School Wildcats kindergarten #talent&development student was all smiles as he beat me fair and square in a math game this morning. #CCPSgifted

My dad sent me this photo of the back of his Walmart cereal box…good puzzles to stump your kids! (answers in follow up tweet) #STEM #CriticalThinking

Starting my day by being the student and not the teacher. I can’t wait to share all this @NCAGT goodness with teachers and students! #NCGIFTED Let’s get CURIOUS! 🧠🧐

“Become a talent scout!” Are we building bridges or creating barriers? “Talent can show up in different places and different times.” Be on the lookout! Be the giftedness scout. A perfect way to open Day 2 by Eugenia for the NCAGT 2022 Conference #NCGifted

We have always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, unstructured play, and classes like Music, Art, Physical Education, etc. but they have been systemically taken away or reduced because some have decided testing is more important than learning.

.UNC System Board of Governors votes to waive the standardized testing component for students applying for admission to the 16 public universities in the UNC System through fall 2024 due to the disruption in the learning environment from COVID-19-bit.ly/3JRo0PY.

Don’t just consume technology, produce it! Love all the ways Marsha Moore Sirkin 🌻 engages our Whiteoak Elementary School Wildcats !

#gifted 5th grade Whiteoak Elementary School Wildcats are hard at work creating sets, props, and a script to teach others the importance of keeping waterways clean. I can’t wait to attend their film premier.

What a fun afternoon for these students!

Hey teacher friends, come to Croatan HS and get your summer learn on! Don’t let the “summer slide” happen to you!

Kid scores 100% on a retest... Only given a 70%. For what possible justification do we put scores in the gradebook that do not match what a student knows? There is no average time to learn something. Punishing students for taking longer to learn something seems archaic

Convocation today with my best friends has me looking forward to a great school year.

I see current and past AIG kids doing BIG things!

Getting ready to share ideas, centers, and lessons learned from our participation with Melodie Willis in Stock Market Game ‘s Stock Market Game at this year’s NCAGT Coloring Outside the Lines conference! #Gifted #NCAGT #StockMarketGame Carteret County Public School System #CCPSgifted

So honored to give the annual State of the State NCAGT 2024 Conference. Being here with over 550 AIG educators reminds me of how great a state NC is for advanced/gifted education. Did you know that 53% of 2023 graduates earned credit in a college level course? NC Public Schools
