General

Great opportunity to join us for Success from the Start for Beginning Teachers in Ocracoke.

NCCAT has a great lineup of professional development for High School teachers coming up in October, November and December. Hope you can join us and please contact us with any questions.

Happy to have Sedge Garden Elementary with us in Cullowhee working in collaborative teams to create curriculum maps for the 2015-16 school year. The curriculum maps will focus on the integration throughout all content areas. Reading components will include phonological awareness, phonics, writing, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and speaking/listening.

Teams from Mitchell County and Wake County we're with us in Cullowhee recently for Research & Development Teams programs.

We've got plenty of professional development coming up in September. Here's a quick look at some of the events.

- Reading for Meaning: The Role of Questioning at Ocracoke

- Developing Reading Comprehension in the Early Grades.
