Today was the last Teacher In-Service for the year, and it started off with 2 great keynote speakers. Gerry Brooks is veteran educator in Lexington, KY who travels speaking to educators encouraging them to improve their instruction through personal climate and culture strategies (from gerrybrooksprin.com). Hayward Jean is the Director of Student Services in Orangeburg County School District, and is the author of “Weapons of Mass Distraction: Dismantling the Negative Influence of Hip Hop Music on Our Youth”. The afternoon was filled with breakout sessions, featuring Dr. Tim Elmore, Dr. Brenda Tufte, Dr. Jeff Lind, Nikki Doll with ND CTE, and Julie Hursch with ND CTE, along with our own talented district staff members.
