Amanda Justice, a first grade teacher at Jesse S. Bobo in Spartanburg School District Six, is the winner of the $1000 Teacher Grant for 2009-2010.  Her request focused on funding a parental involvement project entitled “Picture Me Learning through Creativity."

Addressing both ELA and Social Studies standards, Amanda plans to use the funds for a digital camera and printing supplies. The students will be participating in creative projects with their parents and families and will be documenting these learning experiences through pictures and reflective writing.

Preparing Future Teachers PDF Print E-mail

coburn_winter_confWhen high school students and college students come together to learn about teaching, SC ASCD knows it is preparing future teachers for success. SC ASCD is proud to report that our first Winter Student Conference was a tremendous success. 

Two years ago, we began to brainstorm how the organization could further support our College Chapters with professional development. We also recognized the number of high school students in our state who were enrolled in Teacher Cadet classes who could benefit from a day set aside to honor their dedication to learning about and working with students in their local districts. The result was our first Winter Student Conference held at Spring Valley High School in Columbia on February 27.

The day began with an upbeat keynote from the 2010 SC Teacher of the Year, Brian Coburn. Choice sessions included topics about classroom management, building relationships, differentiating instruction, and engaging students. These sessions were conducted by first and second year teachers who shared their experiences and expertise with these future teachers. Another session brought together two groups of first and second year teachers who were part of panel discussions. For a side benefit for the attendees, Dr. Judy Lehr led a session on starting and growing our college chapters.

Coming Up PDF Print E-mail
April 2010 - Due to the continued economic downturn, SC-ASCD has decided to postpone its Spring Conference. Robyn Jackson, author of Never Work Harder than Your Students, has graciously agreed to re-schedule and will be featured this fall. Understanding the budgetary constraints that most districts are facing, we are exploring options to Web cast Robyn's presentation to reach a wider audience of educators while remaining cost effective for participants. Thank you for your continued support.
