Loved spending time with this great group of educators debriefing our reading of “An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States”! Love dissecting what we know and how we know it and how it impacts our classrooms and students. @GCS_DEI_Office @TiRoShaw @stephenbell54

Thanks for having us out and sharing what you do @kinghistorycchs - was a great way to start my day and week and month! – at Greensboro, NC
Experienced a Ho Chi Minh Trail simulation today in @kinghistorycchs class in @ChathamCoSch !! This immersive experience included a variety of activities that helped students understand the long term environmental, social, physical, and emotional impacts of war. I was so impressed with the myriad of lessons I learned in this experience. Amy, you are a rockstar educator who understands that students love to go outside and learn in their environment! You understand how to curate simulations that are thought-provoking, poignant, approachable, and responsible. Thank you, @JonathanPermar and Kate Cruze from @GCSchoolsNC for learning with me in the mud today! I love bringing districts together! #outdoorlearning #socialstudiesteacher #teacher #historyteacher #VietnamWar #nced #nctoypoy

'Tis the season for gathering around the table with family, friends, and (likely) people who have different views than you. Here are three tips for staying civil, engaging in meaningful dialogue, and making it through dessert! #CivilDiscourse

Many GCS students are participating in optional voting field trips this week. @Super_GCS joined our young voters from @SEHSFalcons and Smith High at the polls today – many voting for the first time. GCS has made it part of its mission to graduate responsible citizens.
