Focusing on the “Why”
So why is the State focusing on educator effectiveness in the face of so many other
changes?
NC is implementing a new curriculum, new assessments, new technology tools to improve instruction, new ways of engaging students, and the list goes on
Because all our efforts in other areas depend on an effective teacher in every classroom and an effective leader in every school building!
