As teachers we all know that getting students motivated and engaged in their own learning is an important first step in any learning cycle. One successful method of engaging students is to reframe the learning into a more enjoyable context.

Greetings from NCCAT! I wanted to let you know about some current NCCAT efforts and what is ahead.

First, we are extremely thankful for your support and the General Assembly action to return NCCAT to recurring status in the state budget. It is a vital step in NCCAT moving forward and continuing to provide high-quality professional development for the teachers of North Carolina.

NCCAT is proud to announce another option for teachers who are seeking new skills and understanding. As an extension of our face-to-face programming and our current focus on Digital Learning and Early Grades Literacy, NCCAT will be rolling out a series of self-contained mini-courses that are designed to be immediately helpful for teachers who are seeking new knowledge. These courses will be hosted on the NCCAT Online Learning Portal and are open to any North Carolina public or public charter school teachers at no cost to you or your school.
