Yesterday Carver EEC staff participated in a full day of professional learning.  Dr. Adam Holland, UNC Chapel Hill professor, researcher, and author and Dr. Douglas Clements University of Denver professor, researcher, and author of our curriculum spent the entire day with us providing professional development to our staff in the morning, coaching during instruction, and providing feedback to our leadership team in the afternoon as part of our STEMie technical assistance grant.  This visit focused on learning how to quickly assess where students are academically in the natural environment and providing individualized supports to meet each student’s academic needs.  Our staff welcomed our partners from STEMie as well as several central office visitors into their classrooms with open arms.  It was a fantastic day for professional growth.  The future is bright here at Carver! 

Meet the Carver staff. They are talented, brilliant, and full of positive energy! We had a wonderful day getting to know each other and we can't wait to meet our families! Let's go peanuts!

Anne Arundel County Public Schools has a free mobile app that makes staying informed easier than ever before. In the 2026-27 school year, routine announcements about school system events and operations will be disseminated primarily through the mobile app, the news section of the AACPS website, and through messaging to families (not through social media).

To ensure receipt of the latest updates and information, families should download the app and follow their student's school(s).Download the app in the App Store or on Google Play today!
