CULLOWHEE—For the eighth year, the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching's western campus hosted the summer institute for the incoming class of Kenan Fellows from June 22–26.
The Kenan Fellows Program is an innovative model to promote teacher leadership, address teacher retention, and advance K–12 science, technology, and mathematics education. Kenan Fellows are public school teachers from diverse disciplines, selected through a competitive process to participate in a prestigious fellowship.
The Kenan Fellows Institute is an intensive professional development experience that explores issues related to educational leadership, integrated science, appropriate use of educational technology and applied ethics.
"Forty-two K–12 teachers from more than a dozen school districts across the state learned about proven teaching methods, innovative instructional resources and best practices in digital education," a media release from Kenan Fellows said.
There was also an EdCamp Kenan Express during the program.
NCCAT continues to be a proud partner and supporter of this valuable program.
