CULLOWHEE (July 23, 2014)—The summer institute for the incoming class of Kenan Fellows recently was hosted at the western campus of the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching, a national leader in professional development for teachers.

Everlene Davis, a teacher with 58 years of experience in North Carolina classrooms, doesn’t just say she believes in life-long learning, she lives it.

Davis was one of 22 teachers from around the state to take part in the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching’s “Teacher Leadership Institute” in Cullowhee June 16–20. It was the Columbus County teacher’s first trip to NCCAT after being selected Sandhills/South Central Regional Teacher of the Year.

In making the announcement, NCCAT executive director Dr. Elaine Franklin said, “We are very fortunate to have Angie Hambling joining us as chief of staff. The depth and breadth of her experience, as well as her open communication style, make her exactly the right fit for this position. She possesses a keen understanding of K–12 education, particularly in the area of educational leadership, and exhibits a deep respect for the teaching profession.”

A joint work session of the board of trustees of the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching and the board of directors of the Development Foundation of NCCAT Inc. will be held from 10 a.m. till 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 10, in Morrisville.

The former public school teacher will appear as a contestant on “Jeopardy!” during the program’s broadcast at 7:30 p.m. Monday (Sept. 24) on WLOS-TV.

After her audition last spring, when she learned that she had earned a spot on the show, Teitelbaum said, "If you'll excuse me, I have to go study geography now." She took personal leave from her faculty position at NCCAT to travel to California in July to compete on the game show.
