Let me try to settle this debate: 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. We need to support each other more than ever right now.

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. #educationalepiphany

This survey is a first step, as we solicit feedback from across the state and select indicators that help paint a more complete picture of #schoolquality. We hope that everyone will give of their time to complete it. 📝 #nced #ncpol NC Public Schools dpi.nc.gov/news/press-rel…
