Today, Roxboro Community School (RCS) high school Principal Darkarai Bryant honored teachers Ashley Bailey and Amanda Carter with certificates for Excellence in Teaching. Bryant said the state of North Carolina recognizes teachers in certain End-of-Grade (EOG) and Advanced Placement (AP) tested subjects. It does not, however, recognize End-of-Course (EOC) tested subjects. RCS wanted to recognize Bailey and Carter for their efforts. Both teachers' students exceeded growth according to EVAAS, (Education Value Added Assessment System) which means the students had more than a year's growth in the subject area. So, said Bryant, "we wanted to recognize Mrs. Bailey for Excellence in Teaching Biology and Mrs. Carter for Excellence in Teaching Math III. Both are to be commended for their dedication to their students."
