Nominate a Peer for the 2013 Innovator Award
The theme for Summer Institute 2013 is Leading Learning and we are interested in hearing who has been a leader of learning for you. The North Carolina New Schools network values collaborative learning in support of innovation and would like to celebrate our schools' innovative practices at this year's Summer Institute. Did you attend Summer Institute 2012, Peer School Review, Learning Lab Initiative study visit, or Common Practices Symposium where you learned about an innovative practice? NC New Schools would love to hear about how those experiences have impacted teaching and learning at your school. Click here for the peer nomination form. Please recognize your peers today and let's celebrate together at Summer Institute 2013!
