“It’s not enough to put a plan in place, but we have to come back to it and talk about it regularly.” -Mary Nichols, Principal of Weaverville Elementary on the importance of the principal/instructional coach relationship. #GreaterHeights

Friday is a great day for instructional rounds @BuncombeSchools! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate a great week of teaching and learning than to visit the classrooms of top notch
teachers and great kids at Eblen Intermediate School.

@BuncombeSchools Instructional Coaches spent the morning being coached on how the Teaching & Learning tool from @GreatMindsEd Wit & Wisdom can be used to plan for PLC support. I'm excited to see this learning in action across our district! @JennReed23 @Dr_Rob_Jackson

A special shout out to Sgt. Craig Loveland with the Asheville Police Department who not only supports our school resource officers but also volunteered his time and talents serving as the DJ for our all staff pep rally this week.

Our "Welcome to ACS" meeting for new EC teachers gave us precious time to orient everyone to our district's priorities - including the value of asset-based language and using an equity lens in the creation of IEPs. #ACSCougarPride #YouBelongHere
