A truly passionate leader who believes in excellence for all students and is harnessing the power of high quality support structures as levers to make that happen. @ocsdsc @NIETteach

Read the inspiring journey of William Whitehurst, the principal of Marshall Elementary School in South Carolina. From a love for football to a passion for education, his story shows how principals make a difference. https://t.co/9umgAXUCxs #NationalPrincipalsMonth @EducationSC

@EB_MUSTANGS leverage teacher leadership and strengths when investigating how the instructional foundations within their HQIM support student access to standards. @NIETteach @LCSD55 @SClauratew

[Kyle Kovach @KyleMKovach]

What happens when teacher, school, and district leaders engage in collaborative learning to align best practices from classrooms to conference rooms? A common vision for instructional excellence that impacts ALL students. @CAJHornets @ColumbiaHighSC @RichlandOne @NIETteach

[Kyle Kovach @KyleMKovach]

A special district where @ocsdsc educators and leaders are truly dedicated to focusing on what positively impacts student learning. Yet more proof that sustained efforts to improve support systems around research-based best practices can and will yield results. @EducationSC

Orangeburg County School District reduces teacher vacancies by providing close support and creating a family-like environment. Every teacher receives coaching to help them continue to improve instruction. @ocsdsc @EducationSC

[Kyle Kovach @KyleMKovach]

You can tell when leaders have been doing the work with @NIETteach alongside, or better yet, before their teachers. Always ground in student needs identified in classrooms. From the seats of the kids we serve to the district office, we allow what’s impacting learning to be focus.

[National Institute for Excellence in Teaching @NIETteach]

As social & emotional struggles rise among students, supporting teachers - especially new ones - to plan engaging lessons for all is critical. Together we can foster supportive classrooms where all students are engaged in the learning. #education @PerryTwpSchools @EducateIN

[Kyle Kovach @KyleMKovach]

There is a large gap between the number of teachers entering the classroom and those who are leaving, leaving students in classrooms across SC and the country without a talented professional to lead them in their educational journey. New teacher support is critical. @NIETteach

[National Institute for Excellence in Teaching @NIETteach]

We spoke with education leaders about how they are planning to support new teachers this fall. Here are some of the issues they are facing. #Education #edChat @EducationSC @azedschools @La_Believes @EducateIN

[Kyle Kovach @KyleMKovach]

Feeling elevated working alongside leaders from across the state as part of #SCPLN who all have students at the center of their work and are intentionally planning to impact those who sit in the seats of their classrooms. @NIETteach @clairesmurray @TreyForrester @JWoodsNIET

I am certainly not an investment expert but 14:1 ROI is substantial. $14 in benefits for every $1 spent: New research finds the TAP System is highly cost effective and has positive short and long-term impacts. #Education #edChat #EdResearch @nberpubs @EducationSC @usedgov

[Kyle Kovach @KyleMKovach]

The @NIETteach TAP System emphasizes feedback and support while elevating teacher leaders. Recent research confirms the impact in both short and long-term outcomes. Learn more here: https://t.co/QiBsxCza2T 📚 #Education #edChat #EdResearch @nberpubs @EducationSC @usedgov

[National Institute for Excellence in Teaching @NIETteach]

Long-term exposure to TAP leads to greater student success in high school and beyond. Comprehensive performance-pay programs that offer coaching and support for improvement make a difference. Learn more here: https://t.co/hsUDEKDVmL #education #edChat @nberpubs @EducationSC

[Kyle Kovach @KyleMKovach]

When teachers and leaders from across the country come together to learn, collaborate, and intentionally plan for the systems that support student achievement the impact is felt in classrooms throughout the year. #NSI2023

[National Institute for Excellence in Teaching @NIETteach]

Tomorrow we’ll be joined by our partners at #NSI2023 to elevate educators across the country! #Education #edChat

[Kyle Kovach @KyleMKovach]

The foundational core of a state’s future are its teachers. There are great things happening in the classrooms of South Carolina and fitting that we lift up models of excellence during teacher appreciation week. #TeacherAppreciateWeek @NIETteach

Making “in the moment” instructional decisions in response to student thinking is key to prevent learning gaps from turning into canyons. @KyleMKovach #NIET2023

When in classrooms we ask ourselves where we see professional development systems impacting student learning. When in professional learning we ask ourselves where we see student learning needs are impacting professional learning outcomes. Our answers speak to our systems.
