This Saturday NCCAT is excited to host EdCamp WNC. Many educators have experienced EdCamp before, but some have not. We're glad by working with our partners to bring this type of professional development to Western North Carolina.

It is always a great honor to hear how educators take what they've worked on here at NCCAT back into classrooms across the state of North Carolina. We hear these stories each day and can't get enough of them honestly.
