NC TWC

North Carolina has revised the Teacher Working Conditions Survey. This year, a unique survey link will be emailed directly to teachers and instructional support staff. You will also receive regular reminders to complete the survey. The survey will be sent via Constant Contact. A test email will go out Thursday, February 8, 2024 from NCTWC@adi.org. It is not spam; it is safe.🙂


In regards to phishing emails, the technology department has made it easier to report emails you suspect of phishing. Look for the phishing hook pictured below in your email when viewing from your web browser and on your mobile device. If you have not completed your KnowBe4 training, please do so right away. It takes all of us to help keep our data safe.

AI Summits

NCDPI would like to bring together educators from across the state to participate in professional learning, curate, and create materials to support the effective implementation of Generative Artificial Intelligence in PreK-12 environments. Please see the program information and application with teacher leaders if you are interested in participating in this collaborative.

Licensure Update

The digital learning credit (DLC) has been removed as a state requirement for license renewal. However, districts still retain the authority to add a local requirement for Digital Learning Credits if they choose to do so.

Don't walk away

If you walk away from your computer, make sure it is locked to prevent others from accessing your information. You are responsible if someone receives unauthorized access to your files or sends a malicious email from your account. Before you walk away, hold down ctrl + alt + delete to lock your Windows device. On a Mac, hold down control + command + Q.

Keep your files in the cloud

If you're not keeping all your files in the cloud, Google Drive is a great way to ensure you don't lose your files. It protects against loss or damage to your device. As long as you're online, your information automatically updates. You can also sync your hard drive and Google folders with Google Drive for Desktop. Give it a try!
