Congratulations to Lyndsey Pelusi, the recipient of the 2014–2015 Richard A. Schwartz Honored Educator Scholarship. Lyndsey, a Curriculum Coach at Fred L Wilson Elementary School in the Kannapolis City School District, was awarded her scholarship while attending NCCAT’s early grades literacy program, “ Supporting the Literacy of Gifted Children" in Ocracoke.
We would like to thank all those who have donated to the 2014-2015 Annunal Fund campaign. The effort helps support NCCAT programming, and in particular, to raise money to pay for substitute teachers. As of April 23, 2015, the campaign stands at a net amount of $16,455.61 or 183 days of subs ($90/day).
Contribute today and help us reach our goal of $30,000—show your support for NCCAT programs for North Carolina teachers!
We're always glad to have news about the NCCAT Honored Educator Scholarship program. The program helps honor great educators and create opportunities for others.

Thanks to the Petty family for all they have done and continue to do for North Carolina!
Congratulations to Kelly King from West Henderson High School in Henderson County for being named NCCAT’s Slater Family Honored Educator Scholar for 2015-2016! Mrs. King is at NCCAT this week participating in “Bring Your Own Technology: Digital Learning.”
This scholarship will cover all costs associated with Mrs. King’s participation, including program materials, instruction, food, lodging, travel, and a substitute.
Thanks to your support, NCCAT alumni continue to be more effective teachers and, subsequently, their students are better prepared for life.
Take for instance, NCCAT alumna, Virginia Spaventa, who teaches ESL students at Frank Morgan Elementary in Winston-Salem/Forsyth Schools. She had a challenge:
- Her student population needed help in accessing homework. She decided to attend the NCCAT seminar, Catching up with your Students: Digital Learning
- She learned to create electronic homework to adapt classroom assignments into an easy-to-use format for mobile phones
