NCCAT asks for your help in work for NC teachers

Thu, 11/06/2014 - 03:45

Like many alumni of the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT), I have witnessed a number of changes in pre-K–12 education in my career. But no matter how many changes I face, I am very proud to share with my fellow teachers and alumni that my commitment to teaching, improving my abilities to engage my students to become lifelong learners, remains steadfast.

John Griffin is a teacher in Newton-Conover County Schools and a great NCCAT alumnus. He recently sent this message as NCCAT Alumni State Co-Chair that we are sharing on our blog. Thank you to John and all our alumni for all they do for NCCAT and education in the state of North Carolina.

Digital Learning

Do you need the professional development of an NCCAT seminar but can't afford to be out of the classroom? We have a solution for you...

At the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching, we work to give teachers the tools that they need in an environment that helps them to succeed and connect powerfully with other teachers. We've found that there are a large number of teachers who are not able to attend our face-to-face seminars and programs but who are looking for programming that connects to their needs.
