Mr. Seth Gutierrez, Ogeechee Technical College instructor, changed things up this week in his College Algebra class. He gathered students' answers using Plickers. This platform allows the instructor to scan the room with his cellphone as students hold up their unique card in a certain way indicating their answer to given problems. The teacher then uses the information collected to adjust his instruction. #progressmonitoring

Daisy/ Nevils Bridge Construction Transportation Update The Daisy/ Nevils Bridge construction project is scheduled to start on Monday, October 24th. It is supposed to run through the end of March. It should only have a minimal impact (5 to 7 minutes) on three ECCSS bus routes. Our ECCSS Transportation Department began planning for this closure last year. If there are unexpected impacts to our transportation due to this (or other causes), we will notify our schools, families, and community.

ECCSS educators had the wonderful opportunity to participate in externships offered by the Georgia Department of Education’s STEM/STEAM Team. The goal of the externship is to provide educators with rich professional learning to enhance subject expertise and support the development of locally-driven Project Based Learning Units. For the past few days, we've showcased each of our educators and our community partners who helped provide these opportunities to our staff! We have one last round of pics of externships in action and what our educators had to say about their experiences. Please help ECCSS recognize and celebrate LaDetra Calhoun from CES! #PBL #RealLifeLearning #CommunityAndSchoolPartnerships
