I'm very pleased that Dr. Maria Pitre-Martin will be joining my leadership team. She brings extensive, successful leadership experience and expertise in education. NC public school children will be fortunate to have her working on their behalf.

Thank you, NC, for providing districts with Early Literacy Specialists to support the work in the schools. Amber Fitts is amazing and here she works with teachers on fidelity of mClass assessments. @ARhyne @Mrs_Fitts @CTruittNCDPI

When students understand the relationship between the 26 letters, the 44 phonemes (sounds) and 144 graphemes (ways to write sounds), and the 90 most frequently occurring word parts, our children will read at and above the grade level expectation.

You’re a fan of the bitmoji classroom? Cool! You can be an effective teacher.
You’re not a fan of the bitmoji classroom? Cool! You can be an effective teacher.
