Beginning Teachers program in Ocracoke
Thank you to these teachers from across North Carolina who joined us for "Success from the Start" in Ocracoke. Teachers developed their craft by understanding how to teach to the depth of their standards and differentiating for multiple levels of learners. Beginning educators had the opportunities to refine their teaching philosophies and class expectations. Within this seminar, teachers identified their most immediate needs for their classrooms, and time was spent exploring solutions to those needs. Great job! Thank you for all you do!

Thanks to teachers for all you do! We're here to help. Let us know how we can.
