[LaToya Smith King @LSmithTeaches22]

As educators, it our job to connect the new to the known! I am committed to stepping off the road and building cognitive development. Such a great session with Zaretta Hammond and my CCS colleagues! #ReadingLeagueConf2024 #WeAreCCS

@JemnHershberger @GholdyM @SabrinaSteig @CCSEquity Love this!

@LCMSCardinals are thankful for our extended Cardinal family who served as judges in our spelling bee. It takes a village.

[LaToya Smith King @LSmithTeaches22]

Our ELA department is Marvelous & Magnificent. We are giving treats only @LCMSCardinals Trunk or Treat Curriculum Night.

[LaToya Smith King @LSmithTeaches22]

Trunk or treat @LCMSCardinals. Education must extend beyond the classroom. Great to see our Chapel families!

[LaToya Smith King @LSmithTeaches22]

Data tells a story. @LCMSCardinals and ACMS Hornets teachers are using data to inform instruction and to impact student success. #CCSOntheRise #ELAExperience

[LaToya Smith King @LSmithTeaches22]

G.O.A.T. instruction is planned. @LCMSCardinals teachers are hard at work during today’s virtual session. #CCSOntheRise #LCMSGOATYear

[LaToya Smith King @LSmithTeaches22]

There are great things happening @LCMSCardinals. Today we shared our team stats…we have moved out of low performing status! Our students are growing! Last year was the start; this year G.O.A.T. status!

[LaToya Smith King @LSmithTeaches22]

This is my G.O.A.T. Year; 22-23, my 23rd year in education. This year, @LCMSCardinals we are committed to Growth through Outstanding instruction, Academic performance, and Time on Task! #LCMSGOATYear #PeoplePurposePassion #CCSontheRise

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

This is a good point! 🙌

[LaToya Smith King @LSmithTeaches22]

When you begin year 23 and you run into a student from year two who is doing what you do, it feels the heart with joy! #CCSConvocation2022 #TogetherWeWillRise

[LaToya Smith King @LSmithTeaches22]

A wonderful experience and a wealth of information.

[Dr. David McCarter @DavidMcCarterJr]

Thank you @NCMiddle for the opportunity to present at this year's conference. @GOLDENTeach22 and @EnhanceLearnNC enjoyed the participants' discussions and reflections on how teacher perspectives shape student experiences.#AcornsToOakTrees #RelationshipCenteredClassrooms

"Your classroom is your activism; your pedagogy is your protest." @chrisemdin

[Dr. Marvin Connelly @staugustapastor]

Apple says these are the Skills needed in the workplace - are we teaching and assessing for these? Now you understand why the CCS Strategic Plan is written the way it is!!!

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

The president regularly lashes out at women of color with a particular venom. I think it’s because he instinctively knows they see right through him, and In their agency lies his demise.

[LaToya Smith King @LSmithTeaches22]

I constantly tell my students to think out of the box, but educators must break free as well...

[Christopher Emdin @chrisemdin]

How are you scared to step out of the box when you made the box? Get out of your own way and be great damn it #LetsGo #FreedomFriday

[LaToya Smith King @LSmithTeaches22]

I’m back...just the speaker needed to welcome me back to the district. New School, old district. Activist teaching mindset. #HipHopEd #ElevatorinEducation #ReadtoLead

[LaToya Smith King @LSmithTeaches22]

Thank you @chrisemdin you were exactly the spark CCS needed!
