Summer Post #2 - July 7th

Let's take a moment to appreciate Laurie as we had a clean audit yesterday! I was able to spend a few minutes visiting as I delivered food and she is recovering well and is in good spirits.

I am out of the office next week to attend EL Education Leadership Induction. The staff of the summer enrichment program will be available to assist if you are in need. Here are some e-mail contacts for their leaders
  • Director - Mark Pilson; MAPilson@wsfcs.k12.nc.us
  • Admin - Sara Crater; SGCrater@wsfcs.k12.nc.us
  • Admin - Jim Macon; JAMacon@wsfcs.k12.nc.us
  • Lead Sec - Mrs. Hairston; AHairston@wsfcs.k12.nc.us
I have 38 t-shirt orders, THANKS. If you need a size that is not indicated, just type the size next to your name and I can adjust as I retrieve the data from the google doc. I will keep this open and place the order on July 21st.

I spent some time yesterday with the results of our NC Teacher Working Conditions Survey.  The report that I am asking you to review compares the results of 2016 with 2014.  Other reports are available that compare us to the state and district, but seeing the decline in our perceptions over the last two years calls me to connect this data with our EL Work Plan, SIP  & NCSTAR Indicators.  NC Teacher Working Conditions Survey is a live link to this report.

Enjoy your summer and I will post from the Leadership Induction PD as my new style for the blog will be developed during this session. I have "skeleton" plans for improved communications for 2016 that compartmentalize information for targeted audiences.  One plan includes the use of Haiku.

Enjoy July and stay Cool!
