“On the first day of school, I informed my teacher myself that I have a 504 plan, and with that I have a hearing disability. She informed me that there are specialized tools like this stethoscope that I can use to help me better succeed." - Charlotte Reece “I feel like a lot of people can sometimes look down on you, and I think just talking to us… being mature about everything can also really help also.” - Rebecca Torres Reece and Torres are both nursing students at the Career Center who participated in the Department of Public Instruction's Accelerate, Invigorate, and Motivate (AIM) conference last week. The two of them had the chance to speak with ednc.org about the Portrait of a Graduate, disability access, and effective teaching methods. Their responses are available online at www.ednc.org/10-10-2024-aim-conference-covers-ai-and-durability-skills-for-north-carolina-students/. #wsfcs #DeeperLearning #PortraitOfAGraduate #AIM2024
