CULLOWHEE (September 11, 2015)—North Carolina educators have plenty of opportunities throughout the spring to attend the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT), a recognized national leader in professional development programming for teachers.
Registration for the spring programs is open now. Applicants are encouraged to register as soon as possible to ensure a spot. Programs are available to North Carolina educators at the Cullowhee and Ocracoke campuses, online and with NCCAT fellows visiting school districts. For more information visit www.nccat.org.
A variety of programs will be offered, including a focus on the topics below:
Digital Learning
Our students live in a digital world, with the ability to contact anyone, anywhere, anytime. How can we catch up with them? We'll introduce you to digital learning and find common ground with your students.
Early Grades Literacy
Participate in sessions packed with hands-on activities that reinforce essential literacy skills of K–5 students. Encourage literacy through science, the arts and social studies.
Beginning Teachers
Strengthen your knowledge base and classroom expertise in your first three years of teaching.
Support and Planning Teams
We offer educators an opportunity to meet at Cullowhee or Ocracoke in a residential setting devoid of distraction to create and advance departmental-, school- or district-wide projects. Teachers, administrators, central office personnel and district coordinators are welcome.
NCCAT served more than 100 school districts in the state last year. For more information on available programs visit our program calendar at http://www.nccat.org/programs/calendar-seminars
