After attending FETC in Orlando last week, Coach Lanier jumped right into using iCivics activities like Investigating the Declaration to help students better understand Enlightenment ideas and how they shaped American government. Through the game, students analyze real excerpts from the Declaration of Independence and connect them to key concepts such as natural rights, social contract, popular sovereignty, and consent of the governed. Instead of memorizing definitions, students must explain why an idea fits, encouraging deeper thinking and stronger reasoning. The interactive format has been especially helpful for students who struggle with traditional texts, and the immediate feedback allows them to catch mistakes and adjust their thinking in real time. After completing the activity, students were noticeably more engaged and confident during discussions. This approach successfully bridged Enlightenment theory to the foundations of American government in a way students could truly understand and apply.

✨ Learning. Connecting. Leading Forward. ✨
Evans County Schools proudly sent a team to the Future of Education Technology Conference (FETC). Teachers CJ Lanier, Jana Tanner, and Phillip Sapp, along with Instructional Technology Coordinator Samantha Keyfauver spent time learning from national leaders, exploring innovative instructional technology, and networking with educators from surrounding counties and across the United States.
Their time at FETC wasn’t just about attending sessions. It was about bringing fresh ideas, proven strategies, and new connections back to our district. Throughout the year, they will share what they learned with colleagues and lead Tech Day sessions, where teachers can sign up to learn practical, classroom-ready ways to integrate technology and enhance student learning.
This kind of professional learning ensures that Evans County Schools continues to grow, innovate, and empower educators to transform teaching for all students. 🚀📚💡

While staying with Mrs. Jennifer Kelly’s Kindergarten class during enrichment time due to Beacon testing, students still had a blast! They enjoyed playing in “snow” made from shaving cream, writing letters, and drawing pictures. Lots of laughter, learning, and sharing with friends made it a fun and memorable experience! 😊✏️
