NCCAT alum writes article on unique professional development plan

Ben Owens is an alum of NCCAT. We've been excited and proud to watch his work as a Hope Street Group National Teaching FellowRecently he wrote an article titled: "Professional development for teachers, by teachers" for www.ednc.org.

Ben has been a driving force behind "Scaling the Pockets of Excellence in Western North Carolina." His idea is to provide teacher professional development for teachers, by teachers that allows them to see great practices and put them to use in their classroom. The pilot program includes four school districts: Buncombe, Cherokee, McDowell and Swain. They kicked off the program at NCCAT in January.
