The 2010 Teacher Working Conditions survey will be on-line starting March 15. This survey is given to educators across the entire state of NC. Teachers and assistants are surveyed on how leadership, climate , professional development, time and other factors are addressed in their workplace. The survey will be on-line for about a month. All staff participation is very important for looking at ways to have a voice in what direction education in our state takes. In light of the financial challenges facing NC, educators voices are more important than ever. Staff will be receive further information as it becomes available.
