IMPACT V GRANTS AWARDED
Twelve North Carolina schools will receive professional development and support to enhance their media and technology programs as a result of their recent receipt of the IMPACT V Grant awards. The professional development will enable local schools to implement IMPACT: Guidelines for North Carolina Media and Technology Programs. These guidelines support programming that ensures high student achievement through the use of technology in the overall school curriculum. Additionally they will receive funding to purchase 21st century media and technology tools for use both inside and outside the school. More Information:

The grant required one teacher from each core area, media coordinator, district technology director, and principal serve in the cohort. Our school cohort team was selected by the School Administrative Team. The team based its selection on leadership qualities, technology skills, and willingness to serve the school with future training initiatives. The members of the team include: Francis Altman (principal), Josh Kitchin (social studies teacher), Josh McGhee (science teacher), John Scarfpin (math teacher), Angela Kitchin (English Language Arts teacher), Carol Johnson (media specialist), and Chris Thornton (Technology Director). This team has a passion for individual growth, a lifelong commitment to learning and to improving their knowledge and skills, and an ability to instill these qualities in others. With an eye on the future, the team will make the changes in practice that are necessary for the staff to grow professionally.
