Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to the 2009-2010 school year! My name is Celeste Young and I am the AIG Specialist that will be serving Broad Creek Middle School this year. I also serve Bogue Sound Elementary School where I have worked with the students and staff there for the past seven years, so I will see a lot of familiar faces at BCMS this year. I started my teaching career as a second grade teacher at White Oak Elementary in 1996. For the next five years, I taught first and second grades at Morehead Primary School until I became an AIG Specialist in 2002. With my experience and background in the regular classroom and gifted education, I hope to be a valuable resource to the students, staff and families of BCMS. I am very excited to be a member of such a great team!
I will be serving BCMS each week on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Even though the differentiation and direct instruction will primarily come from the classroom teacher, I will be collaborating and working closely with each team, teacher, and classroom as a partnership. I am a resource that is available to provide information, materials, and support in any way I can.
A resource that might be of interest to parents is the NAGC link found in the blogroll on this page. This link will take you to the National Association of Gifted Children’s online access to Parenting for High Potential which is a quarterly magazine designed for parents who want to make a difference in their children’s lives, who want to develop their children’s gifts and talents, and who want to help them develop their potential to the fullest.
Open lines of communication are very important to me. Please contact me if I can help in any way. Email is probably the best method to contact me since I serve more than one school and I always have access to it. My email address is celeste.young@carteretk12.org . I look forward to a great year ahead!
Sincerely,
Celeste Young
