Congratulations to Sara-Elizabeth (Sallie) Senseney (right) of Mountain Heritage High School in the Yancey County school district. She received the Marjorie T. and John S. Britt NCCAT Honored Educator Scholarship! Ms. Senseney attended "Supporting Instructional Coaches to Lead the Way" at our Cullowhee campus.
We appreciate these teachers being with us for "Supporting Instructional Coaches to Lead the Way" in Cullowhee. Throughout the week, coaches learned strategies to strengthen relationships with teachers, facilitate meaningful collaboration, and give effective feedback. Sessions included best practices for having critical conversations and establishing productive professional learning communities with students’ success in mind. Great work!
NCCAT Online offers NC educators a place to come and share ideas while reading a book together to help us learn and grow in our personal and professional lives. Our fourth book will be Dr. Carol S. Dweck s Mindset. Dweck, a psychologist at Stanford University, discovered with decades of research the power of our mindset. Dweck explains that it is not just our abilities and talents that bring about success, but whether we approach our goals with a fixed or growth mindset.
Setting up a science lab or maker’s space can be expensive. In this one day seminar, you will learn ways to design lessons on a budget using inexpensive supplies and tools that you can find at your local dollar or discount store. Join us to engage in fun, standards-aligned and economical activities that will engage your students without breaking the bank!
In this professional develop seminar, we will explore how educators can use art and music to get their students excited about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Teachers will learn how the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio are demonstrated in art, music, and nature. We will then explore how teachers can apply these principles to their lesson design to motivate students to find success in STEM disciplines.

At times, students need support when engaging in grade-level texts. Providing scaffolds is one way to make grade level texts accessible for students.
The first few months of a school year can cause disillusionment for any teacher, but especially for novice educators. During this Focus Friday Session, beginning teachers will examine their current teaching practices in regards to classroom management and identify ways to engage students in learning. In addition, beginning teachers will use data from administrative evaluations and classroom assessments to improve student performance. Come find ways to reset your focus, manage responsibilities, and create joy in the day-to-day art of teaching.
