Something that makes BCEC and BCCI unique is our staff's dedication to getting together each Tuesday afternoon to discuss how to improve teaching and learning in our schools.
Yesterday, Mr. Justen, our curriculum coach, led teachers and counselors in a lesson on how to give and receive better feedback. This activity was done with the help of some pretty wonky paper airplanes that teachers made, launched, and provided feedback on. Mr. Summers was crowned the paper airplane champ! #changingpossibilites #BCEC #BCCI #Publicschoolproud #buncombecountyschools #weareBCS




A few weeks ago we celebrated our fabulous school counselors: Ms. O'Donnell, Ms. Fulmer, and Mr. Hutchman. We are so thankful for this team! They truly keep the BCEC and BCCI students at the heart of their work. Thank you all for what you do to help our students succeed!! 💗💗💗
