SUBSTITUTE PAY INCREASE CORRECTION
In the Staff in the Know distributed on October 22, 2021, the NEW substitutes rate increases presented to the Board of Education by Dr. Miller, Superintendent were shared incorrectly. The following are the new Board approved Substitute Rates:
Licensed: $110
ETT: $95
We hope this increase encourages our substitutes to continue to assist us when we have a need and also promotes others in our community to consider being a substitute.

NCSciFest SciMatch Initiative
Greetings from NCSciFest HQ!
After last year’s wildly successful virtual SciMatch initiative, we are pleased to announce that we are launching a hybrid edition of our program for 2022. In April, 50 North Carolina Scientists from all walks of life will share their love of what they do with 50 middle schools across the state! Because we know virtual visits can occur regardless of the conditions of the pandemic, we are encouraging everyone to plan for a virtual visit. However, if an in-person visit works for you and your Scientist match, go for it!
The deadline to apply is Nov 30. We’ll host a virtual orientation for the selected teachers and scientists in December and Professional Development webinars in February and March. Sign up now!
Best, Cole and the NCSciFest Team
This message is being sent on behalf of Kim Moore, Program Assistant for the NC Science Festival. For more information contact Ms. Moore at kbmoore@email.unc.edu or 919-602-6272.

We invite you to submit student work and voices as part of North Carolina’s celebration of International Education Week -
November 15-19, 2021.
International Education Week (IEW) is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. IEW offers the chance to expand awareness of and interest in global education, and to gain a new cultural understanding by sampling a small part of life beyond the shores of America. A variety of IEW activities are being planned by NCDPI to promote International Education Week in North Carolina during the week of Nov. 15-19.
The NC IEW Student Showcase provides students an opportunity to share their interest and understanding of global issues, global learning, and cultural awareness through various projects, presentations, or work samples. We welcome virtual submissions of student work samples demonstrating Global Education competencies through examples such as Student/School Performances or Presentations, Student Work Narratives, or Student Interviews. Selected submissions will be highlighted on the NCDPI Facebook Page.
