Appomattox County Teachers spent President’s Day in the classroom learning from each other. All ACPS Teachers served as both presenters and participants in our “Best Practices Conference” at the high school. Educators shared what is working in their classrooms in technology, STEM, math, literacy, behavior strategies, CPR and health, the arts, and more. Alfred Mercier once said, “What we learn with pleasure, we never forget.” Hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves and took a few fresh ideas back to their students.
