🐺📰 The Carter Howler – 12/14 📰🐺

Teachers at Jimmy Carter ECHS used Saturday’s professional development to engage in department-level planning and curriculum alignment.

All sessions during Saturday’s professional development were designed and facilitated by Carter staff, highlighting the strength of in-house leadership and peer-to-peer learning.

Sessions emphasized engagement, planning, and classroom impact.

Saturday is a day of growth and collaboration at Jimmy Carter ECHS, as Carter educators gathered for a full day of professional development.

JCECHS staff led dynamic sessions, shared best practices, and carved out time for meaningful planning — all in pursuit of stronger student outcomes.
