Over the last couple of months we have heard much talk about our school system and I’m sad to say most of the talk has portrayed our system in a negative manner. Have you done YOUR research? Our school system is AMAZING! We are very fortunate to have a school system full of dedicated, hardworking educators who go above and beyond on a daily basis. Visit any of our schools and you will see teachers teaching and well behaved students who are engaged in learning. Currituck parents support our schools in the education of their children. However, there is ALWAYS room for improvement!!! We wanted better! We are working hard to be better!!Have you seen our 5 year Strategic Plan, developed in the midst of Covid? If not, find it on our website or contact me for a copy. Implemented in 2021/2022, it was developed with input from over 400 stakeholders and the collection of 7500 data points. Year one highlights included the hiring of instructional coaches, additional resources, EOC pacing guides, beginning teacher support, and 12 teams of 151 teacher leaders working throughout the summer on curriculum. We are in year two which includes developing consistent curricular parameters, teacher leaders, expected use of identified resources, grading business rules, scheduling business rules, and ACCREDITATION. Yes, getting more of our schools accredited is a part of our plan. WHY WAS THIS PLAN DEVELOPED? We wanted to recognize our system’s strengths and identify areas we needed to concentrate on to address the needs and priorities of our school system. All to benefit our STUDENTS!! Please reach out with questions or suggestions. 252-202-2921, [email protected]
And feel free to share! I would very much appreciate your support as I work hard to move our system forward, for the benefit our students.
