From Standards to Success | June 20- 24, 2022
The NCDPI ESL/Title III Team invites ALL educators of Multilingual Learners (MLs) to participate in the Growing Success for MLs Summer Conference. During this summer’s conference, educators will have an opportunity to think deeply about the 2020 NC ELD Standard Course of Study (SCOS); to reimagine instruction through new ELD resources; and to exchange SCOS implementation ideas that center the needs and achievement of MLs.
In order to address how opportunities presented by the 2020 NC ELD SCOS can be both understood and actualized for MLs, the 2022 Growing Success for MLs Summer Conference will center around the theme: From Standards to Success.
This year’s conference has been designed for a virtual environment. The NCDPI ESL/Title III Team hopes the virtual format will allow educators to minimize the disruptions to their day-to-day responsibilities and minimize time away from family and friends. To combat online fatigue, the NCDPI ESL/Title III team put together a program that spans five days with sessions running for two hours. The 2022 Growing Success for MLs Summer Conference is anchored by a professional learning series organized by educator role. Participants may register to attend any of the sessions from the four pathways below:
- ESL Specialists/EL Lead Teachers: those who provide professional development, curate or develop materials for ESL classes, and/or have administrative duties as well as educational duties
- ESL Teachers: Those who work predominantly in the classroom with MLs on language development
- Content Area Teachers: Those who work predominantly in the classroom with MLs and non-MLs on subject areas, such as ELA, science, math, social studies, ARTS, etc.
- Multifaceted Roles: Those who serve in two or more of the above roles
We encourage EL Coordinators to choose the pathways that best suit them.
Office Hours will complement each day’s course and will be held 3:30 - 4:30 PM. Come to these informal, small-group sessions to pose questions to speakers, share ideas, or meet with other educators in the field. Office Hours do not require registration.
Register now!
The NCDPI K-12 Science Team is excited to share an opportunity for interested educators and community partners to participate in the K-12 Science Standards review process by serving on the Data Review Committee (DRC). The goal of this committee is to review data and trends on the current Science Standard Course of Study along with feedback collected from interviews, focus groups, and survey responses from stakeholders. The DRC will analyze this data to make recommendations for a separate Standards Writing Team (SWT) to consider.
NCDPI is seeking applications from a range of stakeholders with experience in reviewing and compiling data including K-12 educators from all grade levels, content areas, and resource specialists. Equally important are school/district leaders, educators from institutions of higher education, and business and community leaders.
If you are interested in being a part of the SWT, a separate application will be coming out in the next couple of weeks. Individuals may apply for BOTH teams, but are only able to serve on one.
Please use the link below for additional information and to apply for the DRC. The application window will remain open until 11:59pm on June 6, 2022

North Carolina's Vision for Comprehensive Arts Education
In today's globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina's 21st century education.
