Dear Education Leader: During the week of March 19th, every school will receive a packet of letters from Governor Perdue that will contain information on how to anonymously access the 2012 North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions survey. This is a statewide opportunity, now an integral component of the Race to the Top initiative, for all licensed school-based educators in North Carolina to provide valuable input on key education issues such as available time, facilities, and resources; community engagement and support; instructional practices; and more. DPI will be providing an interactive, informational webinar prior to the launch of the survey targeted for local school district superintendents on March 20th, 3:45-5:15 PM. During the webinar, you will receive additional background information about the survey and you will be asked to provide feedback and comments as we continue outreach across the state in preparation for the March 26th opening day of the North Carolina TWC Survey . At the end of the webinar, you will receive a set of PowerPoint slides that will help you share the information about North Carolina TWC Survey with educators in your area. In the meantime, please visit www.ncteachingconditions.org for further information. Note: Space is limited to the first 99 participants. The webinar will be recorded and available for download the next day on www.ncteachingconditions.org. Please: 1. 2. 3. 4.
