From The Asheville Citizen-Times - NCCAT alumnae and Evergreen Community Charter School teacher Karen Lechner tackles John Muir trail to raise funds for her school. Good luck Karen!

From the article ...

Karen Lechner has long dreamed of backpacking the 211-mile John Muir Trail through the high Sierras of California. The Asheville schoolteacher has even gotten her coveted permit for the solo trek starting in June.

But while she's living her dream, she wants to make sure her students fulfill their dreams as well.

Pamlico County teacher on time with NCCAT

The opportunity to attend the Holocaust Seminar through the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching was truly a life changing experience. As a high school history teacher, I thought I knew a great deal about the Holocaust and the events surrounding this historical atrocity. However, after visiting the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., I found out that there was so much I did not know.

Joshua Gaskill, a History teacher from Pamlico County High School, wrote this blog post about his time at "Teaching the Holocaust: Resources and Reflection" with NCCAT Nov. 16-20. Thank you to Joshua for taking part and sharing about his experience!
