What is #NCADMIN?

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has declared August "Connected Educator" month.  As a result, Derek McCoy (@mccoyderek) and I (@CSmithGoBlue) are looking to launch the #ncadmin chat in August!  This chat, along with the frequent use of the hashtag, will provide an opportunity to connect on educational issues for the administrators, teachers, counselors, students, and parents of North Carolina.

In the meantime, please share the topics in which you would like to discuss, either in our first chat or during a future chat.  Make sure to use the hashtag #ncadmin for anything related to education in the Tar Heel state to help promote its use!

I will be updating the potential topics as they are received:

• Common Core and Essential Standards fidelity monitoring processes

• Standard VI of the Teacher Evaluation

• School based incentives

• Graduation rates

• Common Core reading

• Connected educators

• Standard 3-d on the Teacher Evaluation
