It was NCCAT's pleasure to receive a book donation from alumna Jan Carmichael this week. Jan was with us for "Promoting Early Grades Literacy Through the Arts" in Cullowhee, where teachers learned ways to integrate arts education across the curriculum. Jan has been doing that in creative ways at Doris Henderson Newcomers School in Guilford County.
We're excited about a new way to connect with teachers that started this week in NCCAT in Cullowhee. At NCCAT we know that the beginning of the year is one of the worst times to be out of your classroom for an entire week. Yet this is also the best time to implement new instructional and managerial strategies. In an effort to provide just-in-time professional development opportunities that create minimal scheduling stress for as many teachers as possible, we are offering a complement of one-day sessions:
The Literacy Programs at NCCAT are a perfect opportunity for school teams (including administrators and counselors) to cultivate their plans for addressing reading problems at their school. Our approach is unique in that you will have time to work collaboratively with our program faculty to develop strategies to implement reading programs in your school. We also cover successful strategies for engaging parents and suggest ways to locate funds (MONEY) and reading resources for your classroom.
